Check out their new album "Lost Channels". It's fantastic :-)
If you have corrections, please feel free to comment.
Chords used:
--------------------------
Am x02210
Bm x24432
G 355433
--------------------------
In cases of G* it sounds really great if you shift to Am with the use of the riff below.
I'm not confident, but I think this makes up for some of the underlying banjo sounds.
Note that G is barred in order to use the riff properly.

Am Bm G* Am Bm G*
My heart is with you, its many dark corners
Am Bm G* Am Bm G*
Its rings of smoke, its lighted hallways
Am G* Am G*
And I wish you could know all the ghosts in my bones
Am Bm G*
They are weeping, they are screaming
Am Bm G*
They are inside my body
Am G
O, let’s trade skins
Am G Am G
I’m rippling in this skin that I’m in
Am G Am G
You could wear my shoes, I could have your hair
Am G
And think that it was fair
Am G Am G G*
I’m rippling in the skin that I’m in

Am Bm G* Am Bm G*
“I’m gonna build you,” she said, “I’m gonna heal you,
Am Bm G* Am Bm G*
I can feel every part of you, that holds it together”
Am Bm G* Am Bm G*
And you always looked so happy when you were sleeping
Am Bm G
Sleep is the only way sometimes
Am Bm G*
To live in a perfect world
Am G Am G
It’s party time, quiet and sublime
Am G Am G
Tonight there’s a party, a party of one
Am G Am G
Like a wisp of smoke, solitary and thin
Am G Am G G*
The heat’s coming off the fires we built
Am Bm G*
Stars were meant to shoot
Am Bm G*
And waves were meant to crash
Am Bm G* Am Bm G*
I’m hypnotized by the flicker, and saddened by the ash
Am Bm G* Am Bm G*
And it’s complicated with desires and dreams
Am Bm G* Am Bm G*
With stiches and battle scars pulling apart at the seams
Am G
O, let’s trade skins
Am G Am G
I’m rippling in this skin that I’m in
Am G Am G
You could wear my shoes, I could have your hair
Am G
And think that it was fair
Am G Am G
I’m rippling in the skin that I’m in
End on G
