Really simple. Jeff plays this with a capo on the 4th fret and the chords shapes are  C   G  
 Fthroughout with some harmonica thrown in.
CI dreamed about killing you aGgain last night
And it fFelt alright to me
CDying on the banks of EmGbarcadero skies
I sFat and watched you bleed
CBuried you alive in a fGireworks display
FRaining down on me
CYou cold, hot blood ran aGway from me
To the sFea
- Harmonica break - same chord sequence-
CI painted my name on the bGack of a leaf
And I Fwatched it float away
CThe hope I had in a notebook Gfull of white, dry pages
Was aFll I tried to save
But the wiCnd blew me back vGia Chicago
In the mFiddle of the night
And aCll without fight
At the cGrush of veils and starlFight

I kCnow I'll make it back
GOne of these days and tFurn on your TV
To Cwatch a man with a fGace like mine

And FI wont go to sleep
CI'm coming home, GI'm coming home

I Crest my head on a pGillowy star

I dreamed about killing you again last night

And it felt alright to me

I sat and watched you bleed

Buried you alive in a fireworks display

Raining down on me

You cold, hot blood ran away from me

To the sea

In the middle of the night

And all without fight

I rest my head on a pillowy star

And a cracked door moon
