This is The Menzinger's song 'Burn After Writing', second track from their latest record: 'On the Impossible Past'. It's an acoustic version, with a fairly loose structure in comparison to the technicality of the record. Verse 1:
CHere's to you, the same chords that I sAmtole FFrom a song that I once heaCrd The Same melody I bAmorrowed from thFe void CI'd rather observe than structure a narratAmive FThe characters are thin; CThe plot does not deveAmlop FIt ends where it beginCs
Link; C, Am, F (x2) Verse 2:
CIt's on the screen, in paperbacks AmIn section 8 and cul-de-sFacs CElectro haikus and drunk sonnets AmAre moving me alonFg DmAlong
Link: F, C, F, C Chorus: (x2)
CYou cut my hair AmYou left red ink eFverywhere Do my Dmhands tell a story? FIs it boring?
Link (Palm Muted): C, Am, F Verse 3: (Palm-Muted)
CWhat I'd give to force your sigh AmWhat I'd give to see you Fcry CWhat I'd give for your caress AmTo see your blue cotton dress FBalled up on the floor CCertain memories are the problem AmCertain drunken lines areF the shaCme Seven hundred miAmles and four years I can't fight the flame;F it burnCs FBurns, and it burns and it burns.
Chorus: (x2)
CYou cut my hair AmYou left red ink eFverywhere Do my Dmhands tell a story? FIs it boring?
Outro:
CWas I wishing on satellites? FTell me how you've beenC doing that trick FI'm just wishing the flCame away FNow I'm wishing the flaCme away
Nota Bene: On the D's in the outro, and throughout other points during the song, you can add embellishments to make it sounds a bit more tidy, but you don't have to. If you wanna give it a try, then whilst you're on the regular D Major shape, hit the fourth fret on the D string, then move it up to second, then open again. Large.
