I love this song, such great chord progressions and vocals. Noticed it wasn't on the
site before so thought I'd give it a go.
This is my first tab so it's mostly correct, but there were a few chords I was unsure of.
Worked the tab out with the help of a video from YouTube:

Meet me in the middle of my mind, and no one else.
I've been waiting here now, I need your help.
Like the time you tore my skin and all the world went blank.
I've never felt such real escape, it bled into the day.

I stress talking, so much that it hurts, then
Can't speak but a word to a lover that was.

I'm gonna paint myself aside like something second in line
Just gonna paint myself aside like something second in line
Verse 2:
Here's where the keyboard comes in but the chords are the same:

Meet me in the middle of the night; I never sleep
Since you told me all the secrets that I swore to keep
In my dreams I can make love to you without a fight
And sometimes I wonder if it's wrong or if it's right

Here, within the walls, I cannot take all the wreck involved (it's contagious)

I'm going silver, all over silver.
Bit unsure of those last chords, particularly the C...but it's roughly correct.
Enjoy!
