The New Pornographers Adventures in Solitude Lyrics

I haven't put all of the chords over the first letter of the word
because many of the words are sung slightly before the chord. I hope
this makes sense. I put brackets around chords where the song stays on
the same chord through two measures, but doesn't emphasize it the
second time. Any suggestions, especially lyrical, are welcome. There
are a few extras at the bottom.
Balancing on, one wounded wing
So clean me up, shove the never ending
The best of the vampish marbles are gathered inside your door
More than begin, but less than forget
What spirit born from the not happened yet
Gathering there to pay off a debt from back from the wars
We thought we lost you We thought we lost you
We thought we lost you Welcome back
Sleeping for years through what is left
Through the pieces that fell and rose from the depth
From the ring water well deep as a secret nobody knows
Less than forget but more than begun
These adventures in solitude never done
To the names of our wounds we send the same blood back from the wars
We thought we lost you We thought we lost you
We thought we lost you It will all come back
(I can't tell what's being sung in this next part, so until I can find
some lyrics, I'm just going to put the chords and some timing. I put
a guess at the lyrics in the extra notes. 4 beats to a measure.
Note Em and D only get half a measure.)
Repeat all that
Extra notes:
If you play the piano, I think the verses use C 2nd inversion,
D 2nd inversion, and G 1st inversion. Start with middle C in the
middle and it should fall into place.
Someone's quietly plucking a guitar in the intro and
first verse (that I can hear), and here's what s/he's playing.
C D G C (or second time)
0---0--0-----------------0---0--0---0------------ repeat
Sometimes the guitar does this
(this part quieter)
Here's my wild guess for the lyrics on the last part. Chords I don't mind,
but I hate figuring out lyrics.
I know you want to... wait for, wait for,
and now it's come at a bad time
some cold lays, some countless ways
For all we know
I know you need to breathe through my mouth, come to
but it's come at a bad time
Some how a fly in the tangle of days
For all we know
