I didn't figure this song out, the guitarist of the band posted it to Reddit, I thought  
I'd just post it here for a wider audience.

Intro: B, D, A, E/D 

B             D 
She speaks in metaphors 
A                    E 
Clever wordplay she won't tell me what she's thinking 
B            D 
I heard her say before 
A                                E 
That if you were a boat then you might as well be sinking 

B             D 
And that the crows outside 
A                     E 
Coming down fast, oh, as they call your name 
B          D 
I said I'm out the door 
A                      E 
If you had some sense, you would do the same 

B            A          D 
She's got me working my mind 
F#                   E/F# 
And I don't decipher code 
B            A        D 
It's time to go for a drive 
F#              E/F# 
A long way from home 

B                     D 
No, it wouldn't be the first time 
A                           E/D 
She's got me on the killing floor 

The rest of the song follows the same patterns. 

She speaks in lullabies 
She said "rock-a-by baby i'll see you in the morning" 
And then I waved goodbye 
Never saw her again but that's just how it's been 

I know she'll be back soon 
She's like the setting sun, she'll rise again one day 
And then the sky turned gray 
If I had some sense, I would fall away 

She's got me working my mind 
And I don't decipher code 
It's time to go for a drive 
A long way from home 

No it wouldn't be the first time 
She's got me on the killing floor 

She speaks in metaphors 
Clever wordplay she won't tell me what she's thinking 
I heard her say before 
If you were a boat then you might as well me sinking 

She's got me working my mind 
And I don't decipher code 
It's time to go for a drive 
A long way from home 

She's got me working my mind 
And I don't decipher code 
It's time to go for a drive 
A long way from home 

No it wouldn't be the first time 
She's got me on the killing floor
