With phaser:

Bbm7 Am7

Am7          Dm7
Every second of every minute of the day
Em7   Dm7      G
I let my fancy play
           C             Fmaj7
And if the feeling strikes me
  A7                Dm7         Cmsus4*
I deliquesce in the sky without waving goodbye
                                                *Cmsus4
Am7                                              E|--3--

Dm7                                              G|--4--
a fractured pale cathedral wall                  D|--5--
Em7         Dm7         G                        A|--3--
death can't touch me at all                      E|--3--
C           Fmaj7
Let its rapacious fingers with
A7       Dm7      Cmsus4
venomous stingers try

Chorus:
E                    G
Try to find a way to spike the senses
D
till everything goes white


(repeat chords for first verse)

I had a vision of vinyl spiders in a cage
and now I avoid the stage
'Cause though it was a trifle I still can't stifle
the fear that they might just reappear

Try to find a way to spike the senses
till everything goes white

Coda:
Bb                         Fmaj7
Climbing climbing climbing never falling
A7                     Bb
If it was up to me I'd break the clouds
Am                            Gm
let them fall and grip to the sea
Bb
I think the chemicals have done
A                  D
some evil thing to me


**You may want to try and find a substitute for the C major chord during the verses, 
is probably something that would sound better.**
