I am not 100% sure about the chords, but I think these are correct. 
If you find any mistakes, please post a comment/correction :)
It is easier to play the song a half note down, with a capo on 1st fret.

Intro: Fm

Verse 1

Fm 
Baby you’re so popular,
                                    Ab
But there are those who don’t know you.
Gm            Fm
You are obsolete.
Darling you are so young,
                                      Ab
But there are those, who’ll outlive you.
Gm            Fm    Db
You are obsolete.

    Eb          Fm    Db
I love how you try,
    Eb           Fm   Db
To live out the lie,
   Ab             Fm
Enjoy the dying cry.

Fm      Ab  Eb  

Verse 2

Fm
Honey you are beautiful,

But there is someone who’ll outshine you.
Gm             Fm
This is obsolete.
When you’re at the top of your game,
                                    Ab
You’re at the bottom of someone else’s.

Enjoy the dying cry.

Chorus

Fm                                       Ab
Knocking on the walls but I don’t understand,
                                          Db
No longer a reason, we don’t need you around.
Db              Eb
Lipstick changing, colours fading.
Fm                       Ab
Exorcism on the audio ley line,
                                      Db
Sleeping pills you don’t need to take.
Db             Eb
Move on, move on,
Eb                               Fm
We don’t need a ghost on the tape.

Verse 3

Fm
Static cracks you can’t erase,
                                 Ab
Counting lines upon your face again.
               Fm
This is obsolete.
Analog sawtooth wave,
                         Ab
Catalyst of yourself, erase.
Gm                  Fm
This is not complete.

    Eb            Fm   Db
I love how you try,
     Eb          Fm     Db
To sieve out the lies.

But we’ll be replaced tonight,
   Eb              Fm
Enjoy the dying cry.

No longer a reason, we don’t need you around.
Db               Eb
Lipstick changing, colours fading.
Fm                        Ab
Exorcism on the audio ley line,
                                    Db
Sleeping pills you don’t wanna take.

We don’t need another ghost on the tape.

      Fm                          Ab
The shock is knocking me to the ground,
                      Db
This is chemical lockdown.
          Eb          
Aahhhh...

Fm    Ab   Db    C

Bridge

Fm
Roll to me across the tables,
Ab
Place you someplace far more stable,
Db
I can cut the excess cables,
C
Show you how to be alive.

Fm
In your heart we place our future,
Ab
In your mind we craft and tutor,
Db
Sculpting you another suitor,
C
Bride for all the human race.

     Fm
Now we don’t need you please just leave,
Ab
You have failed and you can’t see,
    Db
So cut yourself from earthly trestles,
Eb
Leave a haunting empty vessel.

Fm
We don’t need ghosts in the tape,
Ab
The maker knows your time is late,
Db
And if you pay me we’ll repeat,
Eb
Human, you are obsolete.


Fm           F#  Ab
This is obsolete.
Fm           F#  Ab
This is obsolete.
Fm           F#  Ab
This is obsolete.
Fm           F#  Ab    Fm
This is obsolete.
