Here's my acoustic version of one of my favourite Coheed songs. This is in standard tuning, no capo.
I have great fun playing it and hopefully you will too. :)   
If Abmhello could only dC#mrop its "O"
And it Abmstayed in the C#mfront door's way
Of your BhoF#me, would you Blive there F#still?
Could that Abmmake you everytC#mhing I hate?
F#(hold)
Wait...
F#Do you remember why you Edid it? (No, I F#don't)
Do you remember why she Eleft?
F#No- C#mohoh..
AbmI hope you die right now,
F#Will you drink my chemiEcal?
(repeat verse chords)
Is there price to burn this paradise?
Where you left all parts that hurt to mend
If I don't stay awake
Will she come here again?
For my wish of only one last kiss
Do you remember why you did it? (No, I don't)
Do you remember why she left? 
(Unless you did what you thought would be friend)
Do you remember why you did it?
Do you remember why she left?
F#No- C#mohoh
I hope you Abmdie right now,
Will you F#drink my chemiEcal? (woahC#m-oh)
And if you Abmcry out loud,
It'll F#only make me feel too Egood (x3)
EOnce upon your... 
C#mOnce upon your...
AbmOnce upon your F#dead body (x4)
I like to finish on a poignant Abm :)
