WARNING: This is the first song I ever tried to tab out.
 
I know this isn't done, however I noticed there were no tabs for this song, so this is
I got, there sounds like there is much more going on here, hopefully someone with more

Verse 1:
 
Bsus4		    		      F#(barred)		Asus
The air is visible around you, rising up and off your lips in slow currents
		     E			   Bsus4
And i watch as your face is framed in its slow currents
	  F#(barred)
Drifting curls a trailing path
	Asus		E
A long drag becomes a dress of blue and ash

If it is born in flames then we should let it burn

	E		Bsus4
Let it burn all the way down.

The air is visible around us, turning in it's simple steps on slow currents
		     E			   Bsus4    F#
And i watch as it pirouettes and spins in sloooooow mo-tion
	Asus		E
A long drag becomes a slow dance

{...At the word "down" from that last line major riff 1 ends and major riff 2 starts up
and continues...}
 
Bridge:
 
Bsus4
All the way down
Asus					  Bsus4
And if this is ever meant to end, then i hope it ends where it began
Asus
So hot with love, we burned our hands
Bsus4				      Asus
If this is ever meant to end, then i hope it ends where it began
C#m		      E		F#m7add11 		<-This part is missing something
So hot with love, it burns our hands
 
{lead guitar:... keeps playing major riff 2 until "so hot with love" so that "it burns
hands" lyric stands out"}

And if its gotta end then let it end in flames
	E
Let it burn--

Let it burn (if it's gotta end)
	E		    Bsus4
Let it burn (if it's gotta end)
	E		    G#m			E		Bsus4
