The Intro is played through out the verses, though for those singing and not able to sing and play the intro I have put the verse chords in. Also the G chord in the chorus is just a passing note, it is entirely optional to play [Intro]

[Verse 1]
Em                 C
As through a glass darkly you seek yourself,

Am                       Em
But the light grows weak under Yggsdrasil.

Em               C
A basket of eggs may you count your days.

Am                           Em
Though your gut lies filled, only shells remain.
[Chorus]
Em                     G      Am
I can tell you've been drinking by the scent of your breath.

Am             G    Em
Another little sip, a bit deeper in debt.

Em                G    Am
You can rest your head in your wrinkled hands.

Am                  Em
But when you awake, you're in another land.
[Verse 2]
Em                 C
In fields of green rolling on endlessly

Am                     Em
You find a fallen nest where there is no tree.

Em                          C
Mark the brown furred hound tied to the mandrake root.

Am                    Em
Dare you carve a face in that virtue food?
[Chorus]
Em                            G  Am
I can tell what you're thinking. I see it everyday.

Am                          G Em
I'll help you with your coat, see you on your way.

Em                         G Am
Sure you want to go walking on a night like this?

Am                              G Em
Look, there goes another one now. One day I swear they will not miss.
[Solo] Em G Am G Em x6 [Chorus]
Em               G Am
As through a glass darkly you seek yourself,

Am                     G Em
But the light grows weak under Yggsdrasil.

Em             G Am
A basket of eggs may you count your days.

Am                         G Am
Though your gut lies filled, only shells remain.
[Outro] Em Am x2
