Not sure if this is completely correct because I roughly tabbed it by ear which I've never done before but it 
sounds alright to me hopefully it will to you too :)
Capo on 2
DLike a marioneEmtte hanging from its sBmtrings
DYou live you love you Emdance but it's not Bmreal
So take a Dbow
EmaEmciated little tBmhing
Cos you fiDnally have the Emaudience you Bmneed
[Instrumental]
D, Em, Bm,  Gx2
DThinking back to your Emmother's lullabiBmes
How you Ddreamed of drifting fEmree across the Bmsky
Now you dDrag
Your approEmximated cut-out Bmwings
Show the frDactures in your pEmerfect porcelaBmin
DDon't waste your lEmife awaBmy
                   (A)
A black heart's a noose
So Dcut your strings and come EmdownBm  
                    (A)          D  
I feel a different way
You see bEmruise I see bBmloom
In Deverything you hear EmsoundBm  G  
[Instrumental] 
D, Em, Bm,  Gx2
DLike a Roman cEmandle flickerBming
Oh how Deasily our drEmeams are extingBmuished
And I kDnow  
That you can't fEmorget if you can't Bmforgive
All the pDain I see you bEmurden yourself Bmwith
DDon't waste your lEmife awaBmy
                   (A)
A black heart's a noose
So Dcut your strings and come EmdownBm  
                    (A)          D  
I feel a different way
You see bEmruise I see bBmloom
In Deverything you hear EmsoundBm  G  
[Instrumental] 
D, Em, Bm,  Gx4
DWe waste our lEmives awayBm  
With these laments to youth
DWe're all losEmt anywaBmy
So cut your strings and come down
DWe waste our Emlives awayBm  
Looking for things to lose
DWe're all losEmt anywaBmy
In everything you hear sound
DWe waste our Emlives aBmway
Cos the black heart in you
DWe're all losEmt anywaBmy
Is the only thing that I've found
DWe waste our Emlives aBmway
That matters at all
DWe're all losEmt anywaBmy
[Outro] 
D, Em, Bm, G, D
