This is my take on an acoustic version of this song since I couldn't find chords for it anywhere!
[Verse 1]
So the Dpriceless blue Cmaj7diamond is Dcursed,
and we Cboth got Dhurt.
Maybe DI stand in a Cmaj7minefield of Dwords,
but I Cadd9asked you Dfirst.
[Chorus 1]
Those Emearly enBmcounters, with the Ghurtful lies of kGids.
I remember what you DdidD  
A7Covered your arms in a Bmcurtain-shawl, Gbloodied your palmsG  
on the elementaEmry wall.Em  
If it seems too far, it Dis.
[Verse 2]
I was Dout there in the Cmaj7cradle of Dthorns
when your Cfears took Dform.
And the Dtruth is maybe Cmaj7your fear's a Dwall.
But it's Cadd9not that Dtall.
[Chorus 2]
If you Emwant me you Bmshow me in a Gmost unusual Gway,
In a most unDusual way.
A7Under the eyes of a Bmfrozen lake GI saw your fiGre,
and it served me Emnot to waiEmt.
But it hurt me all Dthe same.
Ending
A7You had to chase an Bmelectric storm and Gyou had to waiGt
for the violent Emwind to calmEm,
and it Dcarried you away.
