Chords:
So for the most part, the chords in this song aren't too crazy; just your 
garden variety open and bar chords like C, Em, F, Fm,and Gm, but there are some
very awesome and easy but somewhat unconventional chords in this song that 
make it BEAUTIFUL.

They are...

Fdimadd9:         Aaug11:     and Dm7b5:
 EADGBe           EADGBe          EADGBe
 1--00x           x0---0          x----x
 -2----           ---2--          -5-5--
 --3---           --3-3-          --6-6-

//I'm pretty sure I've got the chord symbols right O_o

Those three are the only really funky chords I've noticed. The rest are
pretty run of the mill:

C:              Em:             Am:             Gm:             F:
EADGBe          EADGBe          EADGBe          EADGBe          EADGBe
x--01x          0--000          X0--10          3--333          1--111
--2---          -22---          --22--          ------          ---2--
-3----          ------          ------          -55---          -33---

Aaaand Fm:

The night's synthetic half-light
Rolls over your steering wheel

I'm closing my eyes just for a while

|F. F. F |Fdimadd9||
We're almost half way

|C. C. C |Em. Em. Em :||
The house, the first thing I see
Filled up with a family

|Am.Am.Am|Gm. Gm. Gm|
Surrounded by city and by sea

||:F. F. F |Fdimadd9:||
We're almost half way,
Will you wake me when we're almost half way?

|C. C. C |Em. Em. Em :||

|C. C. C |Em. Em. Em :||
A saint is chasing a snake
For everybody's sake

|Am.Am.Am|Gm. Gm. Gm|
And so they go burning cars

|F. F. F |Fdimadd9||
We're almost half way
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/v/villagers/home_crd_ver_2.html ]
|C. C. C |Em. Em. Em :||
The mother prepares the weapon
Before handing it to

Never--- reach my home~

|C. C. C |Em. Em. Em :||

|C. C. C |Em. Em. Em :||
The flames wander through the city
And set fire to the sea

|Am.Am.Am|Gm. Gm. Gm|
And out of the blaze appears a face

|F. F. F |Fdimadd9||
We're almost half way

|C. C. C |Em. Em. Em :||
A girl with a look in her eyes
As if to say "I despise

|Am.Am.Am|Gm. Gm. Gm|
"Such poisonous family ties"

|F. F. F |Fdimadd9||
We're almost half way

|C. C. C |Em. Em. Em :||
But a poison as sweet as nectar
Could never forget or neglect her

|Am.Am.Am|Gm. Gm. Gm|
It carries her home and closes her eyes

|F. F. F |Fdimadd9||
We're almost half way

|C. C. C |Em. Em. Em :||
So she goes back under, swallows the water,
Fixes her face like a good little daughter

|Am.Am.Am|Gm. Gm. Gm|
And follows her family, who follow a saint and a snake

||:F. F. F |Fdimadd9:||
We're almost half way,
Will you wake me when we're almost half way?
