I find that this is the simplist way to play this stella song by Ani Difranco. 
Listen to the song to figure out strum as its quite distinctive.


Intro: C G7 Am G x 2

     C           G7
I am walking out in the rain
         Am                               G 
And I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
         C       G7  
And I am getting no where with you
      Am                   G7  C   Am
And I cant let it go and I cant get through

    C                    G7
The old woman behind the pink curtain
        Am                 G
And the closed door on the first floor
     C                             G7
Shes listening through the airshaft 
Am                   Am
 To see how long our swan song can last


        C                   G7
And use both hands, Now use both hands
        Am              G
Oh, no, dont close your eyes
     C       G7
I am writing graffiti on your body
     Am                   G7
I am drawing the story of
                  C G7 Am G
How hard we tried
                  C G7 Am G
How hard we tried

     C                   G7
I am watching your chest rise and fall
         Am                       G
Like the tides of my life and the rest of it all
         C              
And your bones have been my bedframe 
         G7
And your flesh has been my pillow
         Am                   G
Ive been waiting for sleep to offer up the deep
     C           G7 Am
With both hands  
G          C          G7 Am G
Ah-h-h-ah, Both Hands

   C                           G7
In each others shadows we grew less and less tall
    Am                              G
And eventually our theories couldnt explain it all
    C                            G7
And Im recording our history now on the bedroom floor
    Am                                   G
And eventually the landlord will come and paint over it all


         C           G7
And I am walking out in the rain
         Am                               G 
And I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
         C       G7  
And I am getting no where with you
      Am                   G7  C   Am
And I cant let it go and I cant get through

C                    G7
Both hands, Now use both hands
        Am               G
Oh, no, dont close your eyes
     C       G7
I am writing graffiti on your body
     Am                    G
I am drawing the story of
                  C G7 Am G
How hard we tried
                  C G7 Am G
How hard we tried
                  C G7 Am G
How hard we tried
