I don't know if all the words are exactly correct, but I believe the chords are right. 

The intro/rift is played like this with some strumming in between the picked notes.

  C 
There's a killer, there's a killer 

There's a killer coming down 
     F 
It sounds just like a whisper 
                                C 
From the corner of her pretty mouth 

You can't run like this forever 
                        Am 
Your engine will break down 
   C 
Besides that snowy river 
       G             C 
That leads into the ground 

        F                            C 
You're building glass houses on the sand 
                                                         
Then you stand around and shake your head 
G 
  When they all fall down 
        F 
Some damage here, some damage there 
             C                    Am 
Something's lost, but nothing's found 
           C 
You just build yourself another 
    G             C 
A little further down 


           C                     
There's a murder, there's a murder 

There's a murder going down 
      F 
It happens all 'round you 
                     C 
But no one makes a sound 

Cause you're the one who's dying 
                 Am 
Behind a mask so proud 
  C 
Beside that snowy river 
         G                C 
That knows your nose and mouth 


           F                            C 
You're building glass houses on the sand 

Then you stand around and shake your head 
G 
  When they all fall down 
        F 
Some damage here, some damage there 
           C                       Am 
Somethings lost, but nothing's found 
           C 
You just build yourself another 
    G                C 
A little further down 
             C 
You just build yourself another one 
   G                    C 
A little further...... down
