This version tries to sound similar to the original studio version but without the need of changing tuning
and playing relatively easy voicings and positions.
It's made from and for an intermediate player but I tried not to make an over-simplification (like the
tab by @lenavd06, which is a little too easy (for me) and therefore less accurate to the original.
However, I did over-simplify the instrumental/guitar riff part.

C6 C6/F C6/G C6/F X4
[Verse 1]
C6 C6/F I tried to tell you C6/G C6/F I didn't know how to stay C6 C6/F You believe she can see through C6/G C6/F Cutting at the silent clay C6 C6/F A relief, beckon deep blue C6/G C6/F Fettered in the magnet sun C6 C6/F Eat the gun as it feeds you C6/G C6/F Spitting up the oxygen C6 C6/F C6/G C6/F Once again C6 C6/F C6/G C6/F Once again
[Verse 2]
C6 C6/F Once again, empty horses C6/G C6/F Gallop through the violet door C6 C6/F Follow red, crooked courses C6/G C6/F Shadows on the moonlit floor C6 C6/F O my stars, winged creatures C6/G C6/F Gathering in silken height C6 C6/F C6/G C6/F Like the last human teachers
[Verse 3]
C6 C6/F Once again, we must bleed new C6/G C6/F Even as the hours shake C6 C6/F Crystal blood like a dream true C6/G C6/F A ripple in the wound and wake C6* C6/F* You believe, I believe too C6/G* C6/F* That you are the river of light C6* C6/F* Who I love, that I cling to C6/G* C6/F* In the belly of the empty night
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Am(add9) G6 Fmaj7 From the 31st floor of the simulation swarm Cmaj7 Am(add9) G6 Fmaj7 With the drone of fluorescence, flicker, fever, fill the form Dm6/9 Am(add9) Cmaj7 Fmaj7 With a warm gush, now I wanna touch like we never could before Cmaj7 Am(add9) G6 Fmaj7 I'd fly to you tomorrow, I'm not fighting in this war Cmaj7 Am(add9) G6 Fmaj7 I wanna drop my arms and take your arms and walk you to the shore
[Verse 4]
C6 C6/F I remember C6/G C6/F building an energy shield C6 C6/F In your room, like a temple C6/G C6/F Swallows in the windless field C6 C6/F Very thin, with your mother C6/G C6/F Tall as a pale green tree C6 C6/F Very wild, bright as winter C6/G C6/F Rising with a prism key C6 C6/F And a child to deliver C6/G C6/F Taken with the blood and vine C6 C6/F C6/G C6/F As the first little angel [Instrumental] Cadd9-C Am9-Am7 Fmaj7 e|----------------------------------| B|-----3-1-----1--------0-----------| G|-----0-------4-0-----2------------| D|----2-------2--------2-----0-0-2b-| A|--3--------0----------------------| E|-------------------1--------------|
[Verse 5]
C6 C6/F Little Andy C6/G C6/F soft in your newborn skin C6 C6/F Only one, little Andy C6/G C6/F will you return again? C6 C6/F I believe we can renew C6/G C6/F And you could be my brother C6 C6/F Once again, fall asleep with C6/G C6/F our backs against each other C6* C6/F* You believe, I believe too C6/G* C6/F* That you are the river of light C6* C6/F* who I love, That I sing to C6/G* C6/F* in the belly of the empty night
