This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

followed by the main riff x2

Verse 2 follows the same pattern (main riff x4) but then changes

at the Em to something similar to this, its not right but it fits in well

The song then goes into the bridge:

The notes of the chords below are picked but I haven't worked

these patterns out yet, (apart from a pull off from an Asus4 on the A/G)

the chords still sound good when strummed

D D/C# D/B D/A

Close your brown eyes and

G G/F# Em Em7

lay down next to me Close your

A A/G A/F# A/E

eyes, lay down

D (strum once)

Cos there goes the fear?.

A (strum bass notes as song builds up to chorus)

Let it go

Chorus:

the chord progression is - Em G D A

(the Em also sounds good as an Em7:022033)

That's all I have so far, its not spot on but it's a start!
