i kno this is similar 2 version 1... but i amde a few additions/changes...
(the intro is just my way of imitating the riff whilst playing chords.. its quite
tab for Cmaj7* and Cmaj7** and the riff are at the bottom of the page)

Capo 5th fret

INTRO:  *  **

                
And if the snow buries my,
               
  my neighborhood.
                   
And if my parents are crying
                 
then I'll dig a tunnel
                
from my window to yours,
                          
yeah a tunnel from my window to yours.

              
You climb out the chimney
                 
and meet me in the middle,
               
the middle of the town.
                          
And since there's no one else around,
                   
we let our hair grow long
                        
and forget all we used to know,
                  
then our skin gets thicker
                     
from living out in the snow.

                    
You change all the lead
               
sleepin' in my head,
                 
  as the day grows dim
                           
  I hear you sing a golden hymn.

  *  **

                      
Then we tried to name our babies,
                    
but we forgot all the names that,
                   
the names we used to know.
                           
But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms,
               
and our parent's bedrooms,
                      
and the bedrooms of our friends.
                  
Then we think of our parents,
                              
well what ever happened to them?!

                    
You change all the lead
               
sleepin' in my head, to gold
                 
  as the day grows dim
                       
  I hear you sing a golden hymn.
             
the song I've been trying to say.


Purify the colors, purify my mind. ]
Purify the colors, purify my mind, ]
and spread the ashes of the colors ]same as chords above...
over this heart of mine!           ]

The (Am Cm7* Am A5) bit is once again imitating the riff... if u notice... although it
confusing... all your doing is just hammering on then pulling off fret4 on the D string,
just pulling of fret 1 on the b string. this applies for both the (Am Cm7* Am A5) bit 
the (C Cmaj7* C Cmaj7**) bit. if you find this too difficult... you can just play the c
or get a second guitar to play the following riff... or if u just wanna muck around with 
riff...

(also with capo on 5)

e---------------|
B---------1-0---|
G-----0-4-------|
D---2-----------|
A-3-------------|
E---------------|

it can also be played like this wihtut a capo... but i find that it sounds better with a capo

e---------------|
B---------------|
G---------------|
D---------3-2---|
A-----0-3-------|
E-0-1-----------|

this is a great song... and i hope i've done it justice.... go 2 youtube and watch them
it live! amazing!
