If you want to play a nice acoustic version I'd do something like this.

D             G/B            D       G/B
I thought I'd found myself today
 
D        G/B       D
No one's noticed       things are okay
 
 
D  G/B  D  G/B  D  G/B  D  G/B
 
D        G/B             D       G/B
I took a walk down the street
 
D     G/B       D
Found nothing        beneath my feet
 
D  G/B  D  G/B
F#m              A                        D G/B D G/B
I feel safest in knowing that I am true
 
F#m                 A                     D G/B D G/B
When I look in your eyes the idea of you
 
F#m         A
Put me on a food stamp and a hallmark card
D      C       Bm        A     G       A
Tranquilize me with your ideal world
 
D  G/B  D  G/B  D  G/B  D  G/B
 
D     G/B              D       G/B
I was taught what to believe
D     G/B              D       G/B
Now I'm only certain that no one is free
D      C       Bm        A     G       A
Tranquilize me with your ideal world
