No one posted any versions of this,
so even though this is probably way off in many ways,
it's better than nothing.
To people who are actually good at transcription:
Please work off this and finish the rest of the song,
I would love you for it.

Verse is: G, Bm, Am, C, D.
I haven't figured out the rhythm guitar for the part
following the verse, but little organ thing might go
use these notes, not sure about that third one,
i think it may be f#.
d:|7---5--5h7--7--2| etc.
and at the end, where the guitar comes in now and then:
(t = 10)

G Bm Am
At the center of the world there's a statue of a girl
C D G
She is standing near a well with a bucket bare and dry
Bm Am
I went and looked her in the eyes and she turned me into sand
C D G
This clumsy form that I despise, it scattered easy in her hand
Bm Am
It came to rest upon a beach with a million others there
C D G
We sat and waited for the sea to stretch out so that we could disappear
Bm Am
Into the endlessness of blue into the horror of the truth
C D Em
See, we are far less than we knew, yeah, we are far less than we knew
Em C
But we knew what we could taste
Em
Girls found honey to drench our hands
B
The men cut marble to mark our graves
B G
Said we'll need something to remind us of
B
All the sweetness that has passed through us
Em
The priests dressed children for a choir
B
But found no joy in what was sung
B C D D G
The funeral had begun
G Bm Am
In the middle of the day when you drive home to your place
C D G
From that job that makes you sleep back to the thoughts that keep you awake
Bm Am
Long after night has come to claim any light that still remains
C D G
In the corner of the frame that you put around her face
Bm
Two pills just weren't enough
Am
The alarm clock's going off but you're not waking up
C D
This isnt happening happening happening happening happening
G
It is
