This version of "Escapism" is from their acoustic gig in London at the Crate Brewery on YouTube. I am tuned down a half step - Dany appears to be playing tuned down even further (D, I would imagine) [Verse]
C5                    D#5
Get me out of my head

G#5
Drag me out of my bed

     F      C                    D#5
And make me move around to forget

G#5                            F5     C                         D#5
There is time that needs to be wasted to feel something instead

G#5                             F
I will dive in my own delusions

C                    D#5
Draping mirrors again

G#5                              F
Safe inside of my own illusion      It's the hope that kills you
[Chorus]
     G#5           F            C
So I close my eyes till it all fades

         G#5            F           C
And so I close my eyes, then it all fades

              G#5     F         C
Yet I'm still aching, breaking, trying again

              G#5           F           C
But I'll just close my eyes till it all fades

C5       D#5  G#5       F
Ah-ah-ah      Ah-ah-ah
[Verse]
C5                     D#5
Stepping into the void

G#5                           F
Even if it amounts to nothing

C5                     D#5
Silence is to avoid

G#5                                F
Reaching out to hold on to something

C5                     D#5
I wish I could enjoy

G#5                           F
Worthless means of communicating

C5                      D#5
Words that only destroy

G#5                           F
Leave me feeling, fearing, oh
[Chorus]
     G#5           F            C
So I close my eyes till it all fades

         G#5            F           C
And so I close my eyes, then it all fades

              G#5     F         C
Yet I'm still aching, breaking, trying again

              G#5           F           C
But I'll just close my eyes till it all fades
[Bridge]
D#5     D5       C5
I can't help but feel!

D#      D5          C5
I can't tell what's real!
It's the hope that kills you [Chorus]
     G#5           F            C
So I close my eyes till it all fades

         G#5            F           C
And so I close my eyes, then it all fades

              G#5     F         C
Yet I'm still aching, breaking, trying again

              G#5           F           C
But I'll just close my eyes till it all fades

G#5           F            C
(Ah-ah-ah)                    So I close my eyes till it all fades

G#5           F            C
(Ah-ah-ah)

                              G#5     F         C
I close my eyes Yet I'm still aching, breaking, trying again

              G#5           F           C
But I'll just close my eyes till it all fades
