  peo-ple kill each other where they lie
G#m    A           C#m         Badd2
  they lie together  till they find someone better
E         F#m            E       A6
  try and negotiate that slow de-mise

VERSE:

  piece of nothing on the edge of a knife
G#m   A              C#m       Badd2
  sli-ces you so thin  you dry like sheets in the wind
E        F#m                   E           A6
  hold a candle behind through you see the light

VERSE:

  and his-tory tells us  of worlds we'll know nothing of
E            F#m             E       A6
  then retro-spect becomes a shackle tight on
G#m   A           C#m     Badd2

The song can be played in standard tuning without the capo by simply
ignoring the extensions and using familiar chords:  E F#m G#m A B C#m

Rhythm is eighths with syncopated accents and changes.
With the unusual accent on 1+ and the change on 2+ the first chord of
each 2-beat pattern actually sounds for a duration of only one beat.

INTRO/VERSE:
G#m   A           C#m   Badd2
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +   1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +           d/u = down/up strum
  u   u   u d u     u   u   u d u

CHORUS alternates 2-beat and 4-beat patterns:

C#m   Badd2       E                 F#m   C#m         Badd2     E
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +   1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +   1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +   1 + 2 +   1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
  u   u   u d u   d   d   d u d u     u   u   u d u   d   d     d   d   d u d u

LINK has 1-beat changes and a 3rd-string lick in the B-chords:
