It's basically the same chord progression throughout the song (Em Bm A). For the intro tab I'd like to direct you to Alistair Wood's tab on UkuleleHunt, which can be found here!
Em
You've applied the pressure
BmA
To have me crystalised
Em
And you've got the faith
BmA
That I could bring paradise
I'll forgive and forget
Before I'm paralysed
Do I have to keep up the pace
To keep you satisfied
Things have gotten closer to the sun
And I've done things in small doses
So don't think that I'm pushing you away
When you're the one that I've kept closest
-ahh ahh ahh- x4
You don't move slow
Taking steps in my directions
The sound resounds, echo
Does it lesson your affection
No
You say I'm foolish
For pushing this aside
But burn down our home
I won't leave alive
Glacies have melted to the sea
I wish the tide would take me over
I've been down on my knees
And you just keep on getting closer
-ahh ahh ahh- x4
Glacies have melted to the sea - Things have gotten closer to the sun -
I wish the tide would take me over - And I've done things in small doses -
I've been down onto my knees - So don't think that I'm pushing you away -
And you just keep on getting closer - When you're the one that I've kept closest -
Go slow x5
