Hey this is my first submission to Ultimate Guitar, and I'm pretty sure it's correct...enjoy!

Verse 1:

Dm                Eb                                      Bb
There's a hunger in the air, a lemon swollen in the trees

Dm                Eb                          Cm          Gm      Eb           C           F
But shadows fall across the moon, I strain my ears towards the breeze

Dm                 Eb                                 Bb
I wasted summer listening, secluded as a cemetery

Dm                 Eb                            Gm  Cm      Bb       C
Withered limbs under the sand, for an hourglass eternity

Chorus:

Bb          Gm
You are an albatross around my neck

Bb                       Gm
When you needed to knock me on the head and say

F#        F
No no no no

Verse 2: (I honestly don't know if these lyrics are correct or not... sorry!)

Dm              Eb
Jackal legs and tangled dogs

Ab             Eb         Bb
Are clutching darkest forestry

Dm                  Eb                          Cm          Gm   Eb           Ebm
A woman dangles from a bridge on a thread of silver mercury

Chorus:

Bb          Gm
You are an albatross around my neck

Bb                       Gm
When you needed to knock me on the head and say

No no no no

I saw a feathered silhouette on the crest of un forbidden waves
 
Dm               Bb                  Eb         Gm       Eb         C
It hovered over salty air and I couldn't tear my eyes away

Dm                        Eb                        Ab              Bb
And somewhere in between the lines, I drifted into fantasy

Dm                    Eb                  F#      Eb                       Ebm
But you're the only open book, a portal to a star crossed sea
