I just worked this out from listening to her play. it doesn't sound quite right and im not sure about the end bit so don't expect perfection! Bdim7 1st fret bar 2nd fret, 2nd string 3rd fret, 3rd and 5th string
Am                      
He wants to die in a lake in Geneva
Bdim7 The mountains can cover the shape of his nose
Am
He wants to die where nobody can see him
Bdim7 But the beauty of his death will carry on so
Am                 Bdim7
I don’t believe him

    Am
He greets me with kisses when good days deceive him
Bdim7 And sometimes we're scorned and sometimes I believe him
        Am
And sometimes I’m convinced that my friends think I’m crazy
Bdim7 Get scared and call him, but he’s usually hazy
   Am
At 1 in the morning, the day is not ended
Bdim7 By 2 he is scared that sleep is no friend
   Am
By 4 he will drink but he cannot feel it
Bdim7 Sleep will not come because sleep does not will it
    Am                Bdim7
And I don’t believe him

            Am          Bdim7
Morning is mocking me

  Am
I wander the streets, avoiding them eats
Bdim7 Till ring on my finger slips to the ground A gift to the gutter, a gift to the city The veins of which have broken me down And I don’t believe him Morning is mocking me
    Am       G      Am        G
The gods that he believes

      Am       G    Am     G
never fail to amaze me
He believes in the love in his god of all things But I find him wrapped up in all manner of sins The drugs that deceive him and the girls that believe him
Am                     G
I can’t control you, I don’t know you well

F                       Bdim7
These are the reasons I think that you’re ill

Am                     G
I can’t control you, I don’t know you well

F                       Bdim7
These are the reasons I think that you’re ill

          Am                   Bdim7
And since last that we parted last that i saw him
down by a river, silent and hardened Morning was mocking us, blood hit the sky I was just happy, my manic and I He couldn’t see me; the sun was in his eyes
Am?            Bdim7?     F       G?
And birds were singing to calm us down

Am?            Bdim7?     F       E
And birds were singing to calm us down

Am                           G
And I’m sorry young man, I cannot be your friend.
I don’t believe in a fairytale end I don’t keep my head up all of the time I find it dull when my heart meets my mind
Am                         G
And I hardly know you, I think I can tell

F                        Bdim7
These are the reasons I think that we're ill

Am                    G
I hardly know you, I think I can tell

F                        Bdim7
These are the reasons I think that I'm ill

        Am        G     Am     G        Am        G       Am      G
And the gods that he believes    never fail to disappoint me
And the gods that he believes never fail to disappoint me
   Am           Bdim7         Am        Bdim7  
My nihilist, my happy man, my manic and I

     Am?   Bdim7?    F?      E
Have no    plans to  move on
