(fingerpicking)
Oh wake me please when this is over
 
Oh when the ice has melted away
 
and the hunger returns
 
I will be the same but older
 
and maybe twice the man that I thought I was
 
G              D
Where have you been?
    Em           D      C
And what have you done?
          D         G
I've been under the ground
D         Em         D         C
Reading prayers from this old book I found
D         G
Under the ground
Cmaj7     Em
Saving it up
    D           C
And spending it all
   D
On moving pictures
 
 
(fingerpicking)
 
And silent films
 
moving pictures
 
And silent films
 
oh is this the dream I've been saving
 
oh where the heart beats slower and slower
 
to almost nothing
 
almost nothing
 
almost nothing
 
G              D
I took it for love,
  Em                  D         C
or at least something beautiful
    D             G
out there in the spotlight
Cmaj7              Em    D              C
I turned around suddenly turned around squinting
    D               G
and saw that it was headlights
    Cmaj7        Em
and in them the truth
    D           C
the truth was unbearable
       D
oh and dimmer than
Cmaj7        Em        G          C
bearing down on these two shadow animals
        D             (fingerpicking)
caught painting a dotted line
 
caught painting a dotted line
 
caught painting a dotted line
 
 
G              D
Where have you been?
    Em           D      C
And what have you done?
          D         G
I've been under the ground
Cmaj7      Em          D        C
Reading prayers from this old book I found
D         G
Under the ground
D        Em
Saving it up
    D           C
And spending it all
   D           (fingerpicking)
On moving pictures
 
And silent films
 
moving pictures
 
And silent films

Good effort but you've got the chorus wrong i'm afraid - i'm sure of this since I saw the band last night and paid particular attention to how he played this song because it's one of my favourites. The Chorus actually goes: G D G D C Cmaj7 C D - just repeat that three times at each chorus. He plays the G with the B sting as an open string.

also, I think it should go, on the last three notes of the main riff, 5A 4D 0A, instead of 5A 4D 0G e|--------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------| G|-------------------0-----0-- ----------| D|--9-----7----5----4----2--2----2----4-| A|10-10--9-9--7-7--5----3-3--3--3-3--5-0|
