 This may or may not be 100% accurate, but sounds pretty close and should 
 impress your all indie-rock friends.  The way I play it is in standard 
 tuning: E A D G B E 
  
 Of course, \ is slide down, / is slide up.

 one step. 
  
 Lyrics: 
 Rental sting, the customer is king 
 Waste your life, waste your life 
 Little things can cost you everything 
 Save your life, save your life

 Repeat Main Part with new lyrics: 
  
 Dead and white, our distance is disguised 
 Mad and sad when it's my misunderstanding 
 Rental sting, the customer is king 
 Waste your life, waste your life

 There's a second guitar picking out some individual, higher notes overtop 
 this pattern, but this part sounds sufficient on its own. 
  
 As always, feel free to correct me or add anything.
