You're The Reason I'm Leaving chords by Franz Ferdinand

This is how i play the song on the acoustic guitar. I have omitted the bridge part.

I prefer to use the barre chords, because they allow you to alternate your sound,
depending on how much pressure you put on the strings.

Bm  A  D  F# F#m  G

Behind the door of number ten
