Here's a great song from PT's '99 album Stupid Dream. Transcribed using
the recording of Steven Wilsons live solo performance in Tel-Aviv. This
tab is not a 100% accurate representation of the studio version but rather
a cool way to play it acoustically.
Enjoy!

Stranded here on planet earth
It's not much but it could be worse
Everything's free here, there's no crowds
Winter lasted five long years
No sun will come again I fear
Chemical harvest was sown
Chorus:
Dsus2 Am Fmaj7
And I will wait for you
Dsus2 Am Fmaj7
Until the sky is blue
Dsus2 Am Fmaj7
And I will wait for you
Dsus2 Am Fmaj7
What else can I do?
Verse 3-4: (play the chords while keeping the riff in there)
Am C
A spaceship from another star
Am C
They ask me where all the people are
F Em
What can I tell them?
I tell them I'm the only one
There was a war but I must have won
Please take me with you
Chorus
end on Fmaj7
That's it!
