The Saltwater Room, by Owl City
Standard Tuning
Capo on the 5th 

I think to get the most sound of chords in this song without arpeggiating is 
this variation of C and G only in the verse, every other chord is played
standard in the rest of the song (including the chorus). Also it sounds
better to end both verses with a standard G chord.

C (x32010@1)                   GI (320003@1)opened my eyes last night, and saw you in the lowlight
CWalking (x32010@1)down by the bay, on the shore
Em (022000@1)               C (x32010@1)                    DStaring (xx0232@1)up at the planes that arent there anymore
C (x32010@1)                           GI (320003@1)was feeling the night, grow old, and you were looking so cold
CLike (x32010@1)an introvert, I drew my over shirt
Em (022000@1)                  C (x32010@1)          DAround (xx0232@1)my arms and began to shiver violently before
C (x32010@1)                      GYou (320003@1)happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
CRunning (x32010@1)into the dark underground
Em (022000@1)             C (x32010@1)                   DAll (xx0232@1)the subways around create a great sound
C (x32010@1)                   GTo (320003@1)my motion fatigue farewell

With your ear to a seashell
C (x32010@1)                    
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
Em (022000@1)                 C (x32010@1)         D (xx0232@1)       G(standard chord)
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room
