I have to give credit to the Shadowplay website for the lyrics :

AUTHORS NOTE : This was tabbed in the key of F so that it can be played along
with the Closer version in normal tuning. If you find it too difficult, you can
use a capo on the first fret or tune up half a step and play it half a step
lower (which is much easier.) Just drop every chord half a step.
e.g. (-0-3-5-0-3-5-0-3-5-0-3-0)

The rythym is not hard if you listen to the song.
Verse 1:

----1-----1-----1-------3----
1-4---1-4---1-4---1-4---1----
A cry for help, a hint of anaesthesia
The sound from broken homes - we used to always meet here
As he lays asleep she takes him in her arms
Some things I have to do, but I don't mean you harm

Verse 2:

----1-----1-----1-------3----
1-4---1-4---1-4---1-4---1----
A worried parent's glance, a kiss, a last goodbye
Hands him the bag she packed - a tear she tries to hide
A cruel wind that howls down to our lunacy
And leaves him standing cold here in this colony

I can't see why all these confrontations
I can't see why all these dislocations
No family life - this makes me feel uneasy
Stood alone here in this colony
In this colony --

God in his wisdom took you by the hand
God in his wisdom made you understand --
In this colony
