Verse 1 chords:
C Csus4 C Csus4
Back when I was not that old
C Csus4
For I had me a love before playing in a band
C Csus4 C Csus4
At the tent and underage
C
Now I’m old as a drink but the best things to get drunk
Dm F
You’re all in the world that I ha-a-a-a-a-a-a-d
C
Just me and my unusual friends
Verse 2 chords:
C Csus4 C Csus4
Playing songs to the magic box
C Csus4
To the holes in the old rotten roof sounds of curl-eyed morning
C Csus4 C Csus4
Back when you, substitute for girls
C
So I get more food and the passer of the time
Dm F
In the aching dehydrated dou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ough
C
With my bruised up hollow men
Dm F
Yeah I hold you in my ha-a-a-a-a-and
G F G F G F G G# A#
Yeah I’m missing my unusual friends

Verse 3: use verse 1 chords
You and her, you stuck around
We’ll a were all night used to give my room and kill me
There’s a flood on my lungs on the bre-e-e-e-eeze
I’m missing my unusual friends
You were all in the world that I had
My sweet unusual friends
Outro:
C Csus4 C
My sweet unusual friends
Csus4 C
Well my sweet unusual friends
