This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

The chords below are a mixture of strumming and fingerpicking,
The rhythm is more important than which strings are strummed/picked.

make everybody late
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above guitar section is used for the first two verses...
Here are the chords if you just want to strum...
G Em C
I'm waiting for the train
D/F# G Em C
the subway that only goes one way
D C E Esus4 E
the stupid thing that will come to pull us apart
C D/F# G
and make everybody late
G Em C
you spent everything you had
D/F# G Em C
wanted everything to stop that bad
D C E Esus4 E
and now I'm a crushed credit card registered to Smith
C D/F# G
not the name that you call me with
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interlude
Second guitar enters whilst the first guitar plays the verse part in the background.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The guitar part for the next verse starts off the same as the first two, again
the chords are strummed and fingerpicked.
G Em C
you turned white like a saint
D/F# G Em C
I'm tired of dancing on a pot of gold flaked paint
D C E Esus4 E
oh we're so very precious, you and I
The song then differs from the previous verses...
C D C E Esus4 E
and everything that you do makes me want to die
C/G D/F# C D C E Esus4 E
oh I just told the biggest lie
C/G D/F# C D C E Esus4 E
I just told the biggest lie
C/G D/F# C D C E Esus4 E
the biggest lie
C/G D/F# G
That's about it, just add some fill-in notes and hammer-ons and it will sound near perfect.
