Our Mutual Friend (acoustic)(Keyboard chords)

	        

 

 

C               D                        Bm 
No matter how I try I just can't get her out of my mind 
           Cm7 
And when I sleep I visualize her. 
C                D                   Bm 
I saw her in the pub. I met her later at the night-club. 
         Cm7 
A mutual friend introduced us. 
C                   D 
We talked about the noise 
                     Bm 
And how it's hard to hear your own voice 
          Cm7 
Above the beat and the sub-bass. 
C                        D                            Bm 
We talked and talked for hours, we talked in the back of our friend's car 
          Cm7 
As we all went back to his place. 

C,D,Bm,Cm7  

C               D                           Bm 
On our friend's settee She told me that she really liked me 
            Cm7                               
And I said 'cool, the feeling's mutual. 
C             D                           Bm     
We played old 45's. I said 'it's like the soundtrack to our lives 
              Cm7 
And she said 'true, it's not unusual. 
C                 D 
Then privately we danced 
                     Bm          
But couldn't seem to keep our balance, 
          Cm7 
A drunken haze had come upon us. 
C                   D 
We sank down to the floor and we sang 
                    Bm 
A song that I can't sing any more, 
            Cm7 
And then we kissed and fell unconscious. 

C,D,Bm,Cm7 x2 Em 

  Esus4                Em 
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       Bm       Cm7 
No longer then is he our mutual friend. 

C,D,Bm,Cm x4
