(optional) Capo on 1st fret.
Doesn't sound 100% right when playing along with the song,
but when you're playing this on a guitar and singing with it,
it nails it. I find this way a lot easier to play than the other
versions of this tab on here. Listen to the song for the rhythm.
The F and the G in the verse are played quickly after each other.

In a white room with black curtains near the stations

Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.

You said no strings could secure you at the stations.
G Am C D F G Am C D F

VERSE
Am C D F G Am C D F
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
G Am C D F G Am C D F
Consolation from the old wound now forgotten

Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
G Am C D F G Am C D F
She's just dressing goodbye windows, tired starlings

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd,
G D F G A A
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves
