Every chord in this song has exactly four strings in it. Play each chord as
an arpeggio of six sixteenth notes (each chord is half of a 12/16 measure.)
Here's an example:

[intro]
A(9)/E G/D Cmaj7 Bm7 Am9 G G/F G
If language were liquid, it would be rushing in
A(9)/E G/D Cmaj7 Bm7 Am9 G G/F G
Instead here we are, in a silence more eloquent than any word could ever be
A(9)/E G/D Cmaj7 Bm7 Am9 G G/F G
These words are too solid, they don't move fast enough
A(9)/E G/D Cmaj7 Bm7 Am9 G G/F G/F
To catch the blur in the brain that flies by and is gone
Esus4 Esus4/B Esus4 Esus4/B F#m7(4) F#m7(4) G6(9) G6(9)
And is gone, and is gone, gone,
F#m7(4) F#m7(4) G6(9) G6(9) Asus9 Asus9 Asus9 Asus9
Gone, gone, and is gone
I'd like to meet you in a timeless, placeless place
Somewhere out of context and beyond all consequences
Let's go back to the building on Little West 12th; it is not far away and
the river is there (Words are too solid, they don't move fast enough)
And the sun and the spaces are all laying low, and we'll sit in the slience
that comes rushing in (To catch the blur in the brain that flies by...)
And is gone, and is gone, gone,
Gone, gone, and is gone

A(9)/E G/D Cmaj7 Bm7
[instrumental]
I won't use words again, they don't mean that I meant, they don't say
what I said
It's just the crust of the meaning with realms underneath, never touched,
never stirred, never even moved through
If language were liquid, it would be rushing in
A(9)/E G/D Cmaj7 Bm7 Am9 G G/F G/F
Instead here we are in a silence more eloquent than any word could ever be
Esus4 Esus4/B Esus4 Esus4/B F#m7(4) F#m7(4) G6(9) G6(9)
And is gone, gone,
F#m7(4) F#m7(4) G6(9) G6(9) Asus9 Asus9 Asus9 Asus9
Gone, gone, and is gone [repeat and fade]
