The rhythm for the most part is simple but the F chord switches to 7/8 so just watch for that.
AmDo Cyou rGemember Fhow you wore that Amdress?
AmIt Cslipped my Gsight beFneath the eyelidAm  
AmDo Cyou reGmember Fwhat you said to Amme?
AmWhat Ccause has Ggiven Fyou the right to Amstray?
AmAnd Cthen you're Gliving Fto muster a Amtaste
AmThe Cclocks are Gticking Ffast with every Ambreath
Chorus:
Since we've been Dmwrong, I've been Ampoured away
Since we've been Dmwrong, you will never ever Amknow me
What took you so Dmlong?
I'm not Amsure of the way
But I Emhold it as
Just one more time 
you still amass
Am C G F Am
The next verse follows the same chord stucture like the first verse:
One day your rain will come wash away
The earth that held us was no island
I have become unbroke inside this skin
I'll find a way out through those eyelids
And all the days become of cast away
I seem to think I don't belong here
Chorus
The end of the chorus goes to the bridge which is Am, Em, F
AmOn top Emalong here
FI should have stayed
AmWhat folds Eminside
Becomes Fempty
AmThe walls Embetween us
FWon't ever break
AmShould seal it Emshut
It grows Fempty
Then the chorus until the end.  The last chord is Am.

Am C G F Am

Do you remember how you wore that dress?

Am C G F Am

It slipped my sight beneath the eyelid

Am C G F Am

Do you remember what you said to me?

Am C G F Am

What cause has given you the right to stray?

Am C G F Am

And then you're living to muster a taste

Am C G F Am

The clocks are ticking fast with every breath

Chorus:

Dm Am

Since we've been wrong, I've been poured away

Dm Am

Since we've been wrong, you will never ever know me

What took you so long?

I'm not sure of the way

But I hold it as

Just one more time

you still amass

Am C G F Am

The next verse follows the same chord stucture like the first verse:

One day your rain will come wash away

The earth that held us was no island

I have become unbroke inside this skin

I'll find a way out through those eyelids

And all the days become of cast away

I seem to think I don't belong here

Chorus

The end of the chorus goes to the bridge which is Am, Em, F

Am Em

On top along here

I should have stayed

Am Em

What folds inside

Becomes empty

Am Em

The walls between us

Won't ever break

Am Em

Should seal it shut

It grows empty

Then the chorus until the end. The last chord is Am.
