Need a song for an acoustic duet for a recital?

My friend asked me to play guitar with her for our school recital. I need a fairly well-known (mainstream if you will) song. She’s one of those people that listen to anything played on the radio. I’d be nice if there’s already an acoustic arrangement or the sheet music can be purchased. I’m comfortable playing anything but she’s somewhat of a beginner (one that doesn’t really practice ><) so simplicity is a must.

Songs I picked out so far:
Nobody's Home - Avril Lavigne.
Complicated - Avril Lavigne.
Decode - Paramore

I refuse to do Miley, Jonas Brothers or Taylor Swift. :x

Be my Escape… Relient K
1 2 3 4 – Feist
Chasing Cars – Snow Patrol
Some gospel song – Consult a church
Fences – Paramore
Nothing sweet about me – Gabriela *something*
