Weezer songs arent too challenging.

Or write some music on your own

Linkin Park - Given up is an easy song to learn. as 5,5 said, Weezer songs are pretty easy too.

start of with stuff like
acdc - back in black
deep purple - smoke on the water
the white strips - seven nation army

then when you've been playing a few months i'd deffiantley reccomend learning stuff likeee;
eric clapton - tears in heaven
eric clapton - layla
led zeppelin - stairway to heaven (it's actually not too hard)
led zeppelin - babe i'm gonna leave you

and when you get pretty good try challenging songs like;
red hot chilli peppers - snow
guns n roses - sweet child of mine
etcetc.

just 1 tip, don't learn indie songs because you'll never get any better.

Going by sound, Pressure by Paramore is quite easy to play.

White stripes is best played on Electric, but you would probably benefit from playing it on your acoustic.

If you want just a pretty song try Neopolitan dreams by Lisa Mitchell

play the blues. it's the foundation of most popular music. everyone from eric clapton to elvis to john mayer have blues influence.
