Palm mute heavily for F5, and 
gradually ease it off through the 
riff.

F5               E5          Am 
I'm watching you walk as you 
       B
walk that distant way
F5              E5           C  
Take that thing away from me 
           B
take away most everything
F5                 E5            
I couldn't say I'd blame you or 
          Am            B
you should never look in back
Continues after the ad
F5                 E5           
You wouldn't be to blame if you 
C               B
couldn't take it back

[Chorus]
G              Am        B      
Hours slipping by as you watch 
             C
the worlds collide
G                F       Em     
Now you're nothing more than 
     C
another passerby
G                  F        Em  
The dark it turns to light in a 
              C
distant flash of night
        G        F            Am 
Rolling with the tide I confide 
          Am
the act we wear it thin again

I think that on the album, these are
 played as E-shape barre chords
(similar to the verse riff, but less
 restrained), but I play them as 
open
position chords to go easy on my 
left hand.

INTRO RIFF 4 TIMES

The other verses and choruses are 
played with the same riffs:

If affection holds you back then 
what is left to hold
If I could find the answer to that 
question then I'd know
The thoughts that clutter up your 
mind and leave me feeling drained
And walking pacing up the walls 
across the floor again
