This depressing song is actually pretty simple. It just uses barred chords pulling off to their minor. And the singing just mimics the guitar so that`s easy too.

though...mood..today.........there`s..soon..ways
After the second verse the F G E is repeated a lot while Eddie sings drifting away. I think it`s two beats on E, then F and G for one beat each.
I`m sure that`s not 100% accurate, so I`d welcome any and all changes or suggestions.
lyrics:
Behind her eyes there`s curtains and they`ve been closed to hide the flames. Remains.
She knows their future`s burning but she can smile just the same. Same.
And though her mood is fine today there`s a fear they`ll soon be parting ways.
Standing like a statue. A chin of stone a heart of clay. Hey.
And though he`s too big a man to say there`s a fear they`ll soon be parting ways.
Drifting away. Drifting away. Drifting away. Away. Away.
Drifting away. Drifting away. Drifting away. Away. Away.
