the rhythm does change during some chord changes (especially during the interlude) 
Intro/Verse: G, Cadd9, Em, D7  
Anguish and misery fall here like a dead star 
And everything you ever said 
Now tears me all apart 
Chorus: Cadd9, G, Em, D7  
He goes down, down to his bitter end 
He knows now, now it's the gutter 
He goes down, down to his bitter end 
He knows now, now you can't touch him
Intro/Verse: G, Cadd9, Em,  D7  
Pray for the rain 
Oh, are you up there 
Do you listen 
It's the terror and the pain and I 
Just wait for you to have risen
Chorus: Cadd9, G, Em,  D7  
He goes down, down to his only friend 
He knows now, now that you love him 
He goes down, down to his bitter end 
He knows now, now you can't touch him
Bridge: Em, Am, G,  D7  
I hold on to you like the death of an angel 
And I hold on to you with all the life that's in me
Intro/Verse: G, Cadd9, Em,   D7  
Why was I not good enough to save you from destruction? 
And your end and my beginning 
Oh, they need no introduction
Chorus: Cadd9, G, Em,  D7  
He goes down, down to his only friend 
He knows now, now that you love him 
He goes down, down to his bitter end 
He knows now, now you can't touch him 
Interlude: Em, Am, D7, G  
Sweet as honey 
I'll live forever 
Pure as first love 
Just come home
End segment (repeated brigde chords): Em, Am, G,   D7  
I hold on to you like the death of angel 
And I hold on to you with all the life that's in me 
And I hold on to you like the death of an angel 
And I hold on to you with all the hope I have left 
And I hold on to you 
Watch the death of an angel 
And I hold on to you 
Until the light pours like honey
