Our Mutual Friend Acoustic
The Divine Comedy
Absent Friends
Fixed the chords from previous versions. Figured out the bridge with the demo version
thanks to the piano arpeggios. I think the studio version has a C instead of Cadd9.

But couldn't seem to Gmaj7/Bkeep our balance,
A drunken Cadd9haze had come upon us.

A song that I can't Gmaj7/Bsing any more,
And then we Cadd9kissed and fell unconscious.
