(Dsus4/9 is the chord you get when you slide C up 2 frets) 

verse 1 
C             G           Dsus4/9    
I was looking up into the endless,  
       C       G           Dsus4/9    
Like a somnambulist in the night. 
C              G              Dsus4/9                        C 
Joan I think I saw you in the darkness,dancing like a wave of light. 
               G                 Dsus4/9    
You were dancing like a wave of light,     a wave of light.

Chorus 
C                      Em               Am        Am 
Saint Joan you're the killer I've been waiting for 
   Am            G             C     C 
As long as I die lying next to you. 
C            Em                  Am        Am 
Pieces of my old life, washed up on the shore. 
Am        G                C     C 
As I disappeared into the moon.    Watch out here I go. 

postChorus 
G                                     Dm 
Oh, I am leaving, I am leaving, I am leaving.

verse 2 
    C             G                Dsus4/9    
I wait, Speak in tongues, spitting lightning. 
      C             G              Dsus4/9    
And I feel something change in the air. 
C           G                    Dsus4/9    
Maybe you are still there in the mist of some sweet  
            C 
summer afternoon. 
       G              Dsus4/9 
Maybe you're still waiting there, still waiting there.

F  
I woke up thinking that I might be dying. 
                      Am 
But I was only in the belly of whale. 
F 
And I recall I saw the red sun rising. 
                         Am  
As he spat me out in the winded part of my city.
