A very ill-bient song...
Time signature is a kind of fast 6/8. I'll take one measure for 4 arpeggios of 6 notes each.
The tuning is traditionnal.
Chords you need to know: (@ stands for 10)

A7 G F#op Dadd9 Dmadd9 Dm Bm Bm/A Esus2 E Em Am Gsus4 Fsus2
Notes in brackets are not played in the song. So if you feel lazy to finger the whole chords, just don't...
Intro & main riff:
A7 G F#op A7 G F#op
The first bar gives you the main riff. The end of the second intro measure shows a small variation on the last arpeggio.
First verse:
"Once there was nothing"
Just repeat 4 times the riff measure. (And don't forget to drown your voice in a fat echo effect.)
Bridge:
Repeat three times the following measure:
[Dadd9] [Dmadd9] [Dadd9] [Dm]
Chorus:
"I was too uptight..."
[Bm] [Bm/A] [GM7] [Esus2] [E]
Graham plays here a very interesting trick with a doubled B (4 on G-string + open B-string).
You'll find the same kind of plan in Where'd You Go: there B is not dubbed but seconded by a Bb, which creates an amazing discord.
Back to second verse:
Play twice the main riff (without lyrics), then comes verse 2.
Second verse:
"Now disappointment shadows..."
Exactly the same as the first verse (excepted the words, of course.)
Second bridge:
It's basically the same plan as the first bridge. On the second measure, Graham introduces a slight variation:
[Dadd9] [Dmadd9] [Dadd9] [Dm]
Second chorus:
It isn't exactly similar to the first chorus. In the second measure, the double B's (4 on G-string and open B-string) are change into B's and F#'s (4 on D-string and open B-string).
[Bm] [Bm/A] [GM7] [Esus2] [E]
Back to the third verse:
Once again, play twice an instrumental main riff.
Third verse:
"A slow and (?) breakdown"
Exactly the same as the first and second verses.
Third bridge:
There's a slight change on the first measure:
[Dadd9] [Dmadd9] [Dadd9] [Dm]
The 7 replaced by a + doesn't sound anymore in this third bridge (on all measures).
Third chorus:
There's a small change in the way Graham plays his arpeggios in the first measure. In the second measure, we're back to the 4's on G-string (double B's).
[Bm] [Bm/A] [GM7] [Esus2] [E]
Middle instrumental:
What on earth is that instrument playing? A kind of chorused piano? If you have any idea, please let me know.
[Em] [Am] [Gsus4] [Fsus2] [Em] [E]
[Em] [Am] [Gsus4] [Fsus2] [Em] [E]
Back to fourth verse:
Play twice the main riff.
Fourth verse:
Same as the first three verses. On the third measure, a note changes but I guess it's accidental.
[A7] [G]
Fourth bridge:
Some little changes occur.
First measure: Second and third measures:
[Dadd9] [Dmadd9] [Dadd9] [Dm] [Dadd9] [Dmadd9][Dadd9][Dm]
Fourth and last chorus:
[Bm] [Bm/A] [GM7] [Esus2] [E]
Ending:
A7 G F#op
