This is a acoustic version of Alkaline Trio's "This Could Be Love".
You can play the standard chords but I would suggest to add a high B & E note
(string 5 & 6)to every chord (exept for the F#m). Play the chords like this:
C#m (x46600)
Aadd9 (002200)
F#m (2442xx)
B (x24400)
E (024400)
Feel free to comment or correct! Have fun!

C#m
I've got a book of matches

I've got a can of kerosene
C#m Aadd9 F#m
I've got some bad ideas involving you and me
C#m
I don't blame you for walking away
Aadd9 F#m

Thinking of you wide awake for days

And I found you tongue-tied in my twisted little brain

I didn't catch your name
C#m
I don't blame you for walking away

In four short steps we can erase this

Step two, play in my blood

Step three,cover me in dirty sheets
Aadd9 B
and run laughing out of the house

I swear to God it's not contagious
