[Intro]
Em G Bm A x2
Em G Bm
I think of you
(Bm) A Em
I haven't slept
(Em) G Bm
I think I do
(Bm) A
But I don't forget
(A) Em
My body moves
(Em) G
Goes where I will
(G) Bm
But though I try
(Bm) A
My heart stays still
(A) Em
In memories
(Em) G
Just won't be let
(G) Bm
So my mouth waters
(Bm) A
To be filled
(A) Em G
And you're always in my head
(G) Bm A
You're always in my head
(A) Em G
You're always in my head
(G) Bm A
You're always in my head
Em G Bm A
(A) Em G
You're always in my head
(G) Bm
Always in my-
(Bm) A
You're always in my-
Em G Bm
This I guess
(Bm) A
Is to tell you you're chosen
(A) Em
Out form the rest
Keep on playing Em and slowly let it fade out.
You can play the A like 0-0-2-2-3-0,
it's down to you which way you prefer.
Also if Bm is too hard for you, a simple D chord (0-0-0-2-3-2) will sound fine too.

Version 3
Capo: no capo
NO CAPO
You can either play this song using OPEN or POWER chords.
Though some may prefer POWER chords (like myself) cause of more "wholesome" sound,
I'm pretty sure it sounds closer to the album version with open chords, so beginners are in
luck.
Repeat this progression through the entire song. Palm mute the majority of the song
Gm Bb Dm C
OPEN Chords Version
Gm xxo333
Bb xx3331
Dm xoo231
C x32o1o
POWER Chords Version
Gm 355333
Bb 688xxx / x133xx
Dm x577xx / 10.12.12.xxx
C x355xx / 8.10.10.xxx
*Note: Bb = A#
I think of you
I haven't slept
I think I do
But I don't forget
My body moves
Goes where I will
But though I try my heart stays still
It never moves
Just won't be left
So my mouth waters, to be fed
And you're always in my head
You're always in my head
You're always in my head
You're always in my head
You're always in my head
Always in my...
You're always in my...
This, I guess, is to tell you you're chosen out from the rest...

Version 5
Capo: no capo
Guitar (Jonny Buckland): Standard Tuning
Please note: This is the album version. I used the live video of the song to figure out
this tab, but Jonny
varies the order of the riff parts, when he plays it live. So I took the both parts and
put them in the correct
order of the album version. The guitar part in the verse is only played live. I think on
the album there're
only a few keyboards/synths for this part.

I think of you
I haven't slept
I think I do
But, I don't forget
My body moves
Goes where I will
But though I try my heart stays still
It never moves
Just won't be led
And so my mouth waters, to be fed
And you're always in my head
You're always in my head
You're always in my head
You're always in my head
You're always in my head
Always in my...
Always in my...
This, I guess, is to tell you you're chosen out from the rest...

I think of you

But though I try my heart stays still
It never moves
Just won't be led
And so my mouth waters, to be fed

You're always in my head
You're always in my head
You're always in my head
You're always in my head
Always in my...
Always in my...
