This song has the same pattern throughout, the pattern being:
 Dsus2| A*  |  Bm   Bm/A|  G|  F#| Em  
 Dsus2| Em* |  Bm   Bm/A|  G|  F#| Em  
Verse 1
Dsus2We're caught in a landslide
A*                        Bm  
The minutes come tumbling down
And into an Bm/Ahour's time
GWithin which a day's worth of F#work
Must be planned out and pan out
EmFor every week to be Dsus2worth
The weekends of downtime
Em*                      Bm  
And months of ennui that kills
And years of Bm/Aresentment
GOf everyone's contentment, and F#you
Can't justify it, Emstill
Repeat chord progression x2
Verse 2: Same chords
I tell you my reasons
You don't tell me your inside jokes
Until I've gone bitter on
Every word that you've spoken
And all of your kind words
Amounting to naught but a token
And all their inaction
Will tumble away with the days
And nights of together
As we're really not together at all
But parallel
Verse 3: Same again
Now I'm walking on downtown
In a town that is not my home
And shopping for breakfast
To be eaten all alone
And dreaming of houses
None of them that I own
But that's not my province
That's not for what I am known
So I gather around me
All the little pieces of a song
And fit them where they belong
Verse 4: Yep, same again
So go to your downtown
And bring what you've brought back home
And you never should worry
Your hours will now be as long
As the days that you hurried
And months when it all seemed wrong
And all of the action
Will tumble away with the years
And parallel evenings
And parallel tracks of our tears
And nights of together are where?
Play second progression again, and repeat until the end
So I gather around me
All the little pieces of a song
And fit them where they belong

Verse 1

Dsus2

We're caught in a landslide

A Bm

The minutes come tumbling down

Bm/A

And into an hour's time

G F#

Within which a day's worth of work

Must be planned out and pan out

Em Dsus2

For every week to be worth

The weekends of downtime

Em Bm

And months of ennui that kills

Bm/A

And years of resentment

G F#

Of everyone's contentment, and you

Can't justify it, still

Repeat chord progression x2

Verse 2: Same chords

I tell you my reasons

You don't tell me your inside jokes

Until I've gone bitter on

Every word that you've spoken

And all of your kind words

Amounting to naught but a token

And all their inaction

Will tumble away with the days

And nights of together

As we're really not together at all

But parallel

Verse 3: Same again

Now I'm walking on downtown

In a town that is not my home

And shopping for breakfast

To be eaten all alone

And dreaming of houses

None of them that I own

But that's not my province

That's not for what I am known

So I gather around me

All the little pieces of a song

And fit them where they belong

Verse 4: Yep, same again

So go to your downtown

And bring what you've brought back home

And you never should worry

Your hours will now be as long

As the days that you hurried

And months when it all seemed wrong

And all of the action

Will tumble away with the years

And parallel evenings

And parallel tracks of our tears

And nights of together are where?

Play second progression again, and repeat until the end

So I gather around me

All the little pieces of a song

And fit them where they belong
