Folks, many of you asked for this. I am no teacher. But here is my best attempt at showing you how to play it and then playing it all the way through at the end. I appreciate that so many of you have asked. Let me know if you have anymore questions! Here again are the lyrics:

I will fall asleep tonight against the will of the world
because peace is not a gift, nor a feeling, a feeling I deserve
still it comes to me each night despite a war inside our heads
and a sea between our bodies, cold and old inside this bed

and you were the mother to my love
but I grew up a runaway
when I was drowning in the storm
you reached out and pulled me ashore
oh no

and I will wake tomorrow, my arms dead by my side
and if I wrap them around you, I'll wrap the truth in a lie
because we both know the evil, the elephant in our tomb
so let's just be lions for the cub in the other room

and I was the killer of your heart
but you thought it best to stay
when I left you drowning in the rain
though I'll try, I'll never know your pain
oh no
