So here goes Cry on Demand by Gomez, of their alubm How We Operate, awesome album:
It's kinda weird trying to show the rythm and patterns with the cords, but should be easy to
figure out listening to the song
The intro/chorus is based on a little pattern with Dsus2 Asus4 and G that goes something like this:
(You can improvise a picking pattern or just strum)

Follow Fig. 2 (x3)
I've been shaking, shaking in my boots
Every time I hear my telephone
ring, it can't possibly be you,
You never call,
Not since my little accident.
Pre-Chorus:
Bb D Gm
I didn't mean to cause any trouble
Bb D Gm F Eb
I didn't know we were so serious
Bb D Gm
Yeah, I didn't mean to burst our bubble
Eb F
It can only float for so long
Verse:
Follow Fig. 2 (x3)
Now I realise, I realise they were wrong,
Cause what happens in Vegas,
Don't take very long,
To travel accross continents,
And onwards overseas,
Onto our little island,
To our city, our home,
But
Pre-Chorus:
Bb D Gm
I didn't mean to cause any trouble
Bb D Gm F Eb
I didn't know we were so serious
Bb D Gm
Yeah, I didn't mean to burst our bubble
Eb F
It can only float for so long
Chorus:
Follow Fig. 1 (x4)
Sometimen I wish I could cry on demand,
Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo
Given all these troubles on my mind,
The tears won't come out.
