From what I can determine by ear and with
poor quality live videos, this song uses an
unusual chord that, for the purposes of this,
I've called F# Major 7th Flat 5(F#M7b5) 
but it could be named a couple of different ways.
See below:
Gm  {x 5 5 3 3 3}
F#M7b5  {x x 4 5 6 6}
Intro :   Gm    F#M7b5  x4
Gm                        F#M7b5
I want to climb on your shadow
Gm                    F#M7b5
I want to use pseudonyms
Gm                        F#M7b5
You say the way and I'll follow
Gm                    F#M7b5
I won't try to escape
Gm                        F#M7b5
And I don't know why on earth I'm calling
Gm                        F#M7b5
Calling at this time of night
              Gm                    F#M7b5 
You've got me hoping for some happenstance, baby
                   Gm             F#M7b5
You've got me uptight
AmI don't wDmho you are
CAll I know is Emyou fold me in haAmlfF  Am  F  
Interlude:   Gm    F#M7b5  x2
Gm                         F#M7b5
I want the slope of your sorrow
Gm                         F#M7b5
I want the curve of your neck
Gm                         F#M7b5
I want the fuse to your morals
Gm                         F#M7b5
I want the keys to your chest
Gm                         F#M7b5
And I don't know why on earth I'm calling
Gm                         F#M7b5
Calling at this time of night
              Gm                    F#M7b5   
You've got me hoping for some happenstance, baby
