Chords

I'm taking this off of a live performance on a youtube video. The rhythm for the most part is simple but the F chord switches to 7/8 so just watch for that.
Am C    G       F                 Am
Do you remember how you wore that dress?

Am C          G       F               Am
It slipped my sight beneath the eyelid

Am C     G      F                Am
Do you remember what you said to me?

Am   C         G     F                Am
What cause has given you the right to stray?

Am  C           G      F           Am
And then you're living to muster a taste

Am  C          G       F               Am
The clocks are ticking fast with every breath
Chorus:
                 Dm               Am
Since we've been wrong, I've been poured away

                 Dm                         Am
Since we've been wrong, you will never ever know me

                 Dm
What took you so long?

        Am
I'm not sure of the way

      Em
But I hold it as
Just one more time you still amass Am C G F Am The next verse follows the same chord stucture like the first verse: One day your rain will come wash away The earth that held us was no island I have become unbroke inside this skin I'll find a way out through those eyelids And all the days become of cast away I seem to think I don't belong here Chorus The end of the chorus goes to the bridge which is Am, Em, F
Am     Em
On top along here

F
I should have stayed

Am         Em
What folds inside

        F
Becomes empty

Am        Em
The walls between us

F
Won't ever break

Am             Em
Should seal it shut

         F
It grows empty
Then the chorus until the end. The last chord is Am. Out of laziness I didn't tab the second verse but you should get the idea of it just by listening to the first verse and then place the chords where you hear it in the song. Tabbed by Dan V. PS: I better not see this tab ripped off and put on other sites without giving me credit for it.
