I have seen Ben Gibbard play this acoustic and have a video of him. This is pretty close 
how he plays it live acoustic.

Tuning: EADGBe

Capo: 5

[Intro]
(Gibbard uses his pinky to finger the 3rd fret on the B string)
(play either version whichever you like better)

Song:

[Intro] (x2)
Start strumming C

C            F
I take a breath
C                                G
And hold the air until there's nothing left
C              F
I'm feeling green
C                       G
Like teenage lovers between the sheets


[Intro] (x2)
(While singing - Strum C in between both times)
Ba Ba Ba Ba  Ba Ba Ba Ba   Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba


C                       F
Knuckles clenched to white
C                        G
As the landing gear retract for flight
C               F
My heads a balloon
C                   G
Inflating with the altitude


[Intro] (x2) 
(While singing - Strum C in between both times)
Ba Ba Ba Ba  Ba Ba Ba Ba   Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba


C                      F
I watch the patchwork farm's
F                            C
Slow fade into the ocean's arms
C                                     F
And from here they can't see me stare
F                             C
The stale taste of recycled air
C        G                 Em
I watch the patchwork farm's
Em         F                  C
Slow fade into the ocean's arms
C          G               Em
Calm down release your cares
Em               F             C
The stale taste of recycled air

[Outro]
