So all you do is play Riff 1 over the verse and Riff 2 over the chorus,
basically.... here's the lyrics with those chords:
 
 
 
D Cadd9   G/B            Cadd9   G/B
I seem to recognize your face
 
D   Cadd9 G/B                 Cadd9   G/B
Haunting, familiar, yet can't seem to place it
 
D      Cadd9  G/B                  Cadd9      G/B
Cannot find a candle of thought to light your name
 
D   Cadd9     G/B              Cadd9   G/B
Lifetimes are catching up with me.....
 
 
C         A5             C        A5                Cadd9
All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place
 
   A5            Em
But no one's ever taken me.......
 
 
D          Cadd9         G/B    Cadd9 G/B
Hearts and thoughts they fade... fade away..
 
D          Cadd9         G/B    Cadd9 G/B
Hearts and thoughts they fade... face away.
 
D Cadd9   G/B            Cadd9    G/B
I swear I recognize your breath....
 
D      Cadd9    G/B              Cadd9  G/B
Mem-or-ies like fingerprints are slowly raising
 
D   Cadd9    G/B            Cadd9  G/B
You wouldn't recall for I'm not my former..
 
D         Cadd9       G/B             Cadd9  G/B
It's hard when you're stuck up on the shelf...
 
 
C            A5              C           A5               Cadd9
I changed by not changing at all.. small town predicts my fate..
 
  A5                      Em
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see...
 
 
D      Cadd9   G/B        Cadd9   G/B
I just want to scream,... Hello.
 
D  Cadd9     G/B                   Cadd9         G/B
My god, it's been so long,.. never dreamed you'd return
 
D       Cadd9    G/B        Cadd9  G/B
But now here you are... and here I am...
 
D          Cadd9         G/B    Cadd9   G/B
Hearts and thoughts they fade.. away
 
 
D          Cadd9         G/B    Cadd9 G/B  
Hearts and thoughts they fade... fade away....
(repeat 4x)
 
 
...so basically, Riff 1 4x, then Riff 2, then Riff 1 6x, then Riff 2, then Riff 1 8x, end of song.
