Chords

This is a b side to Perfect Symmetry. I can't take credit for finding the chords to this song, but after searching for a tab for a long time, I saw the chords on a copy of sheet music a fan transcribed and had to share. I edited a little bit to make it sound a little more like the actual song. Let me know if there's anything really wrong. -----
F        Am    G
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...

Am       F     Em        G
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

We can be together like before

              F          Am
You just need time to forget

              G          F
You just need time to explain

              F          Am      G     F/A
You just need time to forget yourself again

       F                     G
You're lying on the floor and

Em                    F
Staring at the ceiling

F                      Am           Fmaj7
Thinking of a place you  have never seen before

  Am                                   Em
Remember when you held someone for the first time

  Fmaj7                            F
Remember when this fire was all we had

             F            Am
Now you want life without death

             G            F
And you want love without pain

             F          Am       G     F/A
And you want time to go back and start again

       F                     G
You're lying on the floor and

Em                    F
Staring at the ceiling

F                      Am           Fmaj7
Thinking of a place you  have never seen before

F                           G
Thinking of your old friends

    Em                     F
And waiting for the feeling

F                     Am            Fmaj7
Waiting for the old burning feeling to return

      G
These days

               Fmaj7
You don't know who you are

      G
These days

               Fmaj7
You don't know where you are

      G
These days

              Fmaj7
We don't know who we are

   Am             Em   F   G
So meet me by the wall

Am               Em   F   G
Where we used to go

       F                     G
You're lying on the floor and

Em                    F
Staring at the ceiling

F                      Am           Fmaj7
Thinking of a place you  have never seen before, seen before

F                         G
Waiting for the phone call

    Em                     F
And waiting for the feeling

F                     Am           Fmaj7
Waiting for the old raging feeling to return, to return

F        Am    Fmaj7 G
Oh-oh-oh-oh----oh----oh...

Am       F     Em        
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

F        Am    Fmaj7 G
Oh-oh-oh-oh----oh----oh...

Am       F     Em        
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Am Fmaj7 G
