He plays these chords in an alternate way and may have guitar in an open tuning. You may want to play E6, A6, and F#m6 instead of the base chords.

E
Through a door in the end

On a crumbling stair

A
In a clear and rushing vein

In a tunnel full of rain

F#m
In a piece of yellow light

On the skin of my eye

E
Are you there?

E
In the wind of my lung

In methane and in love

A
In petroleum plumes

There's a floating slice of moon

F#m
In your tooth and your claw

And your unforgiving jaws

E
Are you there?

E
On a burning white ship

In the taste of her lips

A
In the blood of the swans

As the sun fucks the dawn

F#m
In the mud of the lake

In the drunk and the dazed

E
Are you there?

E
In the now that is not

On a ladder to God

A
On a mountain stripped bare

With your hand in my hair

F#m
Behind the face of the sky

On a disappearing lie

E
Are you there?

E
In the then that was now

In the now that is not

A
In our names we forgot

In a thought we just lost

F#m
We become what we choose

We are stumbling fools

E
Who are not there

E
There's some tangled dirty twine

In some idiot's clouded mind

A
There's some wires that won't unwind

Around the ankles of the blind

F#m
There's some walls lined with soft lead

And in that room is your bed

E
Is that really you?

E
Are you in there?

E
On the moon?

E
In the air?

E
In my hand?

E
Thrown in a fire?
