"Repetition" by Purity Ring
from "Another Eternity"
tab by aerothopter
I just mostly figured this out. There are a couple quick chord changes 
or subtleties in the later verses and choruses, but this sounds just fine.
I like to strum once then palm mute--this is a pretty minimal arrangement.
This is in the original key.
[Intro]
(Tacit, but implied chords are same as verse)
Hey, hey, pray,   pray, pay
Hey, hey, pray,   pray, pay
Hey, hey, pray
[Verse 1]
CTell me that you wanna move me Bb'round like that
AbI will watch your lips curve in a smooth combat
CMake your way in through my tears and BbI'll relax
If you're the Abtruest one, I'm gonna make you a season
[Verse 2]
CClimb up in my rattling spine and BbI'll contract
AbTell me I'm the only one and I'll move back
CIf you see your daydreams in me, Bbthey'll not lack
What's been Abweighted in me, I'll make you quake with reason
[Chorus] x2
                      Cm   Bbor                   Gm  Ab  
    Watching me is like watching a fire take your eyes from you
                    Cm   Bbor                   Gm  Ab  
    Hope it isn't repetition, though that's the only thing that keeps and takes you
[Verse 3]
CI can feel your knees sinking Bbinto the bed
AbSearching in my dark eyes to break what’s been said
CThere’s a wake of grace, hunting your Bbsoreness down
There's a Ablight in my skin that's been dimmed
[Verse 4]
CI'mma dig you up and give you Bbwhat I took
AbPull you up and tuck you in and make you look
CI'mma smooth your shoulders down and Bbcalm what's shook
It was Aball forlorn, if only for a season
[Chorus] x2
[Post-Chorus]
(You can also use C/Bb/Ab or Cm/Gm/Ab throughout)
CHey, hey, prayGm,   pray, pay
AbHey, hey, pray,   pray, pay

AbHey, hey, pray

"Repetition" by Purity Ring

from "Another Eternity"

I just mostly figured this out. There are a couple quick chord changes

or subtleties in the later verses and choruses, but this sounds just fine.

I like to strum once then palm mute--this is a pretty minimal arrangement.

This is in the original key.

[Intro]

(Tacit, but implied chords are same as verse)

Hey, hey, pray, pray, pay

Hey, hey, pray

[Verse 1]

C Bb

Tell me that you wanna move me 'round like that

I will watch your lips curve in a smooth combat

C Bb

Make your way in through my tears and I'll relax

If you're the truest one, I'm gonna make you a season

[Verse 2]

C Bb

Climb up in my rattling spine and I'll contract

Tell me I'm the only one and I'll move back

C Bb

If you see your daydreams in me, they'll not lack

What's been weighted in me, I'll make you quake with reason

[Chorus] x2

Cm Bb Gm Ab

Watching me is like watching a fire take your eyes from you

Cm Bb Gm Ab

Hope it isn't repetition, though that's the only thing that keeps and takes you

[Verse 3]

C Bb

I can feel your knees sinking into the bed

Searching in my dark eyes to break what’s been said

C Bb

There’s a wake of grace, hunting your soreness down

There's a light in my skin that's been dimmed

[Verse 4]

C Bb

I'mma dig you up and give you what I took

Pull you up and tuck you in and make you look

C Bb

I'mma smooth your shoulders down and calm what's shook

It was all forlorn, if only for a season

[Chorus] x2

[Post-Chorus]

(You can also use C/Bb/Ab or Cm/Gm/Ab throughout)

Hey, hey, pray, pray, pay

Cm Gm
