Not sure what instrument is playing this, but here's how you do it on guitar.
[Verse] (Play intro riff all the way through here or Cm chords lightly) (intro riff) I've sealed myself in (intro riff) Laminated all of my skin (intro riff) Sellotaped my world in bits (intro riff) I must embrace paralysis [Chorus]
Fm                Bb  Eb
Only in you do we see ourselves

Fm                 Bb      Eb
Only in you can we see our end

   Fm                         Bb  Eb
So sick and so tired of being for real

Fm                     Bb      Eb
Only the fiction still has the appeal

(Riff 2, changed a little)

[Verse] N.C. Builder of Routines N.C. It makes me safe and clean Cm (or can be N.C., your choice) It crucifies parts of me N.C. But never seems to make me bleed [Chorus]
Fm                Bb  Eb
Only in you do we see ourselves

Fm                 Bb          Eb
Only in you can we imagine our mend

   Fm                         Bb  Eb
So sick and so tired of being for real

Fm                     Bb      Eb
Only the fiction still has the appeal
[Refrain]
      Ab          Eb
How I hate middle age

Cm              Fm
In between acceptance and rage

       Ab                             Eb
Democracy has sure made a fool out of me

    Cm                         Fm
But I am the builder of routines

Ab Eb Cm Fm x2 
Hold Fm until guitar comes back in, which is a Bb chord when it comes back in.
