Chords

This is from ear, and from what he seems to play live. For acoustic, try a B on the 7th fret for Gardenhead, keeping everything with an E-barre shape, until the B for Leave Me Alone, he plays on the 2nd fret with an A-barre shape. [Verse 1]
B
There are beads that wrap

B
Around your knees that crackle into the dark

        F#
Like a walk in the park like a hole in your head

                                          A      B
Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead
this time We ride roller coasters into the ocean
                            A    F#
We feel no emotion as we spiral down to the world
And I guess it's worth your time Because there's some lives you live
                     E
And some you leave behind

                   B
It gets hard to explain

          F#            E            B     E       E
The gardenhead knows my naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame
[Verse 2]
B
Leave me alone,

                            E
for you know this isn't the first time

                          B
infact this is twice in a row

                                      E
That the angels did slip through our landslide

                              B
and filled up our garden with snow

                                   E
and I don't wish the taste of your insides

                                    B
or to call out your name through my phone

                           E
for the glory boys at your bedside

                                         B
will love you as long as your something to ooooooown

E                                        B
will love you as long as your something to own

B                                         E
Follow me through a city of frost covered angels

                          B
I swear I have nothing to prove

                                      E
I just want to dance in your tangles

                          B
To give me some reason to move

                                E
But to take on the world at all angles

                            B
Requires a strength I can't use

                                 E
So I'll meet you up high in your anger

                                      B
Of all that is hoping and waiting for you

                                      E
Of all that is hoping and waiting for you
