The basic structure for the verse is:
DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LAsus2
E ---------------|---------------|----------------|-----------7---||
B ---4h5p4-------|---4h5p4----5--|---4h5p4--------|---4h5p4---5---||
G ------------6--|---------------|-------------6--|-----------6---||
D ---------------|---------------|-----------7----|-----------7---||
A -4-------------|-4-------------|-4--------------|-4-------------||
E ---------5-----|---------5-----|---------5------|---------------||
I suggest that you fret the fourth fret with your pointer finger and let all
the other fingers do the stretching. Also, make sure that you sustain that
A note on the low E string and play the rest with the other fingers. For
example, when you play measure three, you should be barreing the fourth fret
with your pointer, hammer on and pull off that fifth fret on the B string
with your middle finger; then hit the fifth fret of the low E string (the A
note) with your middle finger; next hit the seventh fret of the D string with
your pinky and finally hit the sixth fret on the G string with your ring
finger. I know it requires a lot of painful stretching, but you should get
used to it. Anyway, here are the lyrics with everything else:
DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LAsus2
Don~t give me answers or I would refuse
DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LAsus2
Yes is a word for which I have no use
DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LAsus2
And I wasn~t looking for heaven or hell
FA#m DO#m SOL#m LA
Just someone to listen to stories I tell
DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LAsus2
DO#m LA DO#m LA
What is a blessing? What is a dream?
DO#m LA DO#m LAsus2
Caught between portraits and none~s what it seems
DO#m LA DO#m LA
And why is it some would expect there~s a change
DO#m LA DO#m LAsus2 FA#m
When I feel I~m a part of something I can~t see
DO#m SOL#m LA
And I feel the same
DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LAsus2
DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LAsus2
Don~t ask me questions or I will retreat
DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LAsus2
Fame is a cancer and ego its seed
DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LAsus2
Now I wasn~t looking for heaven or hell
FA#m DO#m SOL#m LA
Just someone to listen to stories I tell
Instrumental: C#m A C#m A C#m A C#m A

FA#m SOL#m SI
Did you ever care to stories I tell

C#m A C#m A C#m A C#m Asus2 STOP

a bass interlude comes in which plays the standard C#m to A chord change,
for those interested, the bass is simply played:

D -------------|------------------|-------------||
A -4-4-4-----2-|-(repeat 7 times)-|-4-2---------||
E -------5-5---|------------------|-----4-5-5-7-||
DO#m LA DO#m LA
Subtle salvation in poems and pros
DO#m LA DO#m LA
Hiding our heads in a shadow of home
DO#m LA DO#m LA
I wasn~t looking for wreaths or for bells
DO#m LA DO#m LA
Just someone to listen to stories I tell
DO#m LA DO#m LA
Stories I tell
Basically, the song plays the C#m to A chord progression until it ends.
The chords with the asteriks are played like this:
