Highlighted       Show chord diagrams
This is what I've figured after listening the acoustic & album version of the 
song. The other tabs were close, but a couple chords were off. Comments and corrections welcome :)

Strumming for verses: d-dud-du-ud--udu (listen to it, you'll see what i mean)
Strumming for chorus: d-du d-du d-du

Chords used: Gm, Cm, F, D7, Am, Dm, G, E7

Intro: Gm

Verse I:

Gm                       Cm
About as subtle as an earthquake, I know

   F                      Gm
my mistakes were made for you

(Gm)                    Cm
& in the back room of a bad dream she came

F                      Gm
& whisked me away and fused

(Gm)                 Gm
& it's as solid as a rock rolling down a hill

    Cm                               F
the fact is that it prob'ly will hit something

                 Gm
on the hazardous terrain

(Gm)                       Gm
& we're just following the flock 'round and in between

Cm                                       F
before we're smashed to smithereens like they were

                         D7
and we scramble from the blame

Chorus:

(D7)       Cm
& it's the fame that put words in her mouth

    D7
she couldn't help but spit 'em out
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-last-shadow-puppets/260218.html ]
Cm                    D7                           Gm
innocence & arrogance entwined in the filthiest of minds


Verse II:

Gm                    Cm
She was bitten on her birthday and now

  F                       Gm
a face in the crowd she's not

Gm                      Cm
& I suspect that now forever the shape

    F                    D7
she came to escape is forgot

Chorus:

(D7)     Cm
& it's a lot to ask her not to sting 

  D7
& give her less than ev'rything 

 Cm                                     D7
around your crooked conscience she will wind


Bridge: Gm, Am, Dm, G, Am

(Am)                          Am
Cos we're just following the flock 'round & in between

  Dm                                     G
before we're smashed to smithereens like they were

                       E7
& we scramble from the blame


Chorus:

(E7)       Dm
& it's the fame that put words in her mouth

E7
she couldn't help but spit 'em out

 Dm                                     E7
around your crooked conscience she will wind

         Dm
& it's a lot to ask her not to sting

  E7
& give her less than everything

Dm
innocence & arrogance entwined.
