The beat of this is song is very strange, the drums appear to be in or 6/8, but
the guitar over the top is almost in 4/4. I'll try and show this on the tab, with
v showing on the beat, and ^ showing off the beat.

This is repeated over most of the song.

Lets call "056400" G7, and "034200" Cm6

Intro G7 Cm6 G7 Cm6 G7 Cm6 G7 Cm6

So I'm [G7]there
[Cm6]Charging around with a [G7]juggernaut brow
[Cm6]Overdraft, speeches and [G7]deadlines to make
[Cm6]Cramming commitments like [G7]cats in a sack
[Cm6]Telephone burn and a [G7]purposeful gait
When [Cm6]out of a doorway the [G7]tentacles stretch
Of a [Cm6]song that I know
And the [G7]world moves in [Cm6]slow-mo
[G7]Straight to my head
like the [Cm6]first cigarette of the [G7]day

And it's [Cm6]you, and it's [G7]May
And we're [Cm6]sleeping through the [G7]day
And I'm [Cm6]five years [G7]ago
And three [Cm6]thousand miles [(G7)]away

[G7] [Cm6] [G7] [Cm6]
Do I [G7]have
time? A [Cm6]man of my calibre
[G7]Stood in the street like a [Cm6]sleepwalking teenager
[G7]No.
And I [Cm6]dealt with this years ago
[G7]I took a hammer to [Cm6]every memento
But [G7]image on image like [Cm6]beads on a rosary
[G7]pulled through my head [Cm6]as the music takes hold
and the [G7]sickener hits; I can [Cm6]work till I break
but I [G7]love the bones of you
[Cm6]That, I will never es[G7]cape

And it's [Cm6]you, and it's [G7]May
And we're [Cm6]sleeping through the [G7]day
And I'm [Cm6]five years [G7]ago
And three [Cm6]thousand miles [G7]away
And I [Cm6]can't move my [G7]arm
Through the [Cm6]fear that you will [G7]wake
And I'm [Cm6]five years [G7]ago
And three [Cm6]thousand miles away

(3:29)
Now it returns to the chorus, with chords G7 and Cm6

[G7]And I'm fi[Cm6]ve years ag[G7]o
And three [Cm6]thousand miles a[G7]way
And I'm [Cm6]five years [G7]ago
And three [Cm6]thousand miles a[G7]way
And it's [Cm6]you, and it's [G7]May
And we're [Cm6]sleeping through the [G7]day
And I'm [Cm6]five years [G7]ago
And three [Cm6]thousand miles [G7]away

Hope you like it, took a while to get the Bridge right, but i'm pretty sure it is right.
