Our Mutual Friend Acoustic
The Divine Comedy
Absent Friends
I actually got these chords from the demo version, but they work well with the full song too.
Enjoy!
Capo 3

C D Gmaj7/B
No matter how I try I just can't get her out of my mind
Cmaj7
And when I sleep I visualize her.
C D Gmaj7/B
I saw her in the pub. I met her later at the night-club.
Cmaj7
A mutual friend introduced us.
C D
We talked about the noise
Gmaj7/B
And how it's hard to hear your own voice
Cmaj7
Above the beat and the sub-bass.
C D Gmaj7/B
We talked and talked for hours, we talked in the back of our friend's car
Cmaj7
As we all went back to his place.
C D Gmaj7/B Cmaj7
C D Gmaj7/B
On our friend's settee She told me that she really liked me
Cmaj7
And I said "cool, the feeling's mutual.
C D Gmaj7/B
We played old 45's. I said "it's like the soundtrack to our lives
Cmaj7
And she said "true, it's not unusual.
C D
Then privately we danced
Gmaj7/B
But couldn't seem to keep our balance,
Cmaj7
A drunken haze had come upon us.
C D
We sank down to the floor and we sang
Gmaj7/B
A song that I can't sing any more,
Cmaj7
And then we kissed and fell unconscious.
C D Gmaj7/B Cmaj7
C D Gmaj7/B Cmaj7

I woke up the next day all alone but for a headache.
Esus4 Em
I stumbled out to find the bathroom.
Esus4 Em
But all I found was her wrapped around another lover.
Esus4 Em C D Gmaj7/B Cmaj7
No longer then is he our mutual friend.
