This is how I play the song! I'm basically following the bass line
and using that as chords to play along with.
Suggestions and corrections welcome!

[Verse 1]
F#m Em
I found a home away from home as I broke up in Amarante
D F#m
In the Campo do Carvalhal center circle every day
F#m Em
Erratic kamikaze, I copiloted the swift
D F#m
Dreamt I’m anchoring that midfield, like the anchor in my midriff
[Verse 2]
F#m Em
I drifted through a month alone as I broke up in Amarante
D F#m
Nursed a two beer buzz four whole weeks 'cause the only way to feel sane
F#m Em
Newspaper front on the counter top emblazoned spot kick miss
D F#m
I couldn’t even hum in your mother tongue, just a thumbs down raspberry kiss
[Chorus]
D E F# E
(It seems unfair) To be a rotten horn of plenty
D E F# E
(It seems unfair) To be cadaver for a curse
D E F# E
(It seems unfair) To be an overflow for empty
D E F# E D
(It seems unfair) To try your best but feel the worst
D
[Verse 3]
F#m Em
I threw an empty bottle from way up, it thudded into the maw
D F#m
Truth be told I spent the afternoon, and I threw fifteen more
F#m Em
I’m woken by a honking horn, hungover, spread-eagle
D F#m
Strength between the clicking crickets’ knees enough to crush my skull
[Chorus]
D E F# E
(It seems unfair) To be a rotten horn of plenty
D E F# E
(It seems unfair) To be cadaver for a curse
D E F# E
(It seems unfair) To be an overflow for empty
D E F# E D
(It seems unfair) To try your best but feel the worst
D E F# E
D E F# E
[Bridge]
D E F# E
You really can’t complain, it’s just a holiday
D E F# E D E F# E
You fill a wall chart out, thirty-one days away
D E F# E
[Chorus]
D E F# E
It seems unfair to be a rotten horn of plenty
D E F# E
Seems unfair to be (now I'm gonna need you to help me out...)
D E F# E
(It seems unfair) To be an overflow for empty
D E F# E D
(It seems unfair) To try your best but feel the worst
D E F# E
(It seems unfair) It seems unfair to be a rotten horn of plenty
D E F# E
(It seems unfair) It seems unfair to be cadaver for a curse
D E F# E
(It seems unfair) It seems unfair to be an overflow for empty
D E F# E D
(It seems unfair) It seems unfair to try your best but feel the worst
D
