This is a good song by quite a well known Indie-Pop band called Los Campesinos,
it's simple to play the chords, but to play the chords and synth melody together may 
some practice.
Intro:
Down-Up-Down strums for the E chord, followed by the melody.

using the little finger to hammer on at the 4th fret.
Alternatively, just strum a regular E chord.
Verse:
EYou expected my war diaries
But Btime ran out and I, I let you down
A small Athanks note written in French
is no shortBhand for this thing gave me writers cramp.
EAnother dream about shapeshifting
Well Bwe move with such elegance
With such Agrace
With all our dignity just iBn place
For the Chorus, play a high E barre chord, and finger-pick.

Verse:
Drawing Etiny little pictures of skeletons
To get aBcross a sense of impending dooAm
And the leaves like the artwork to BMajor Leagues
look like dead foxes on the hard shoulEder
And for some reason I think that I attributed
This Bstory to the bypass of a town I haven't visitAed
So goes the backing track of all the sighs we ever sBighed
[Chorus]
Breakdown:
(Play an E chord, building up gradually)
EDrawing tiny little pictures of skeletons
To get across a sense of impending doom
And I am seventeen pages through this notebook now
And there are little more than pictures
of how I see you on an x-ray machine
That's more like a television screen and you're in a rut
And I know that you know what I mean
And the realisation hits that
Not even two gospel choirs can save us now.
(At the end of the breakdown, there's a big mess of noise, I use a C major barre chord 
just mess around really, there's no set thing to do here, just make the chord sound as 
as possible.)
Post-Chorus:
(Play a high E Barre chord, and follow the melody of the vocals by switching to a high A 
at the end of each line)
E|-E7---A12-|
B|-9---14-|
G|-9---14-|
D|-9---14-|
A|-7---12-|
E|-0------|
ETurn up on your Adoorstep
EFeeling like Aroadkill
ETasting like Apostage stamps
EAnd when I turn Ato you, you Efold like an enAvelope
EWith everything I ever Awrote
EPouring out Aof your mouth.
End on E

With all our dignity just in place

Verse:

Drawing tiny little pictures of skeletons

B A

To get across a sense of impending doom

And the leaves like the artwork to Major Leagues

look like dead foxes on the hard shoulder

And for some reason I think that I attributed

B A

This story to the bypass of a town I haven't visited

So goes the backing track of all the sighs we ever sighed

[Chorus]

Breakdown:

(Play an E chord, building up gradually)

Drawing tiny little pictures of skeletons

To get across a sense of impending doom

And I am seventeen pages through this notebook now

And there are little more than pictures

That's more like a television screen and you're in a rut

And I know that you know what I mean

And the realisation hits that

Not even two gospel choirs can save us now.

(At the end of the breakdown, there's a big mess of noise, I use a C major barre chord

just mess around really, there's no set thing to do here, just make the chord sound as

Turn up on your doorstep

Feeling like roadkill

Tasting like postage stamps

And when I turn to you, you fold like an envelope

E A

With everything I ever wrote

E A

Pouring out of your mouth.
