I Want Friends Acoustic

Based off this Youtube video of Wil playing the song on a rooftop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN2omslwzdk

The song uses both G chord variations, I've put the 4 fingered version as Gv to differentiate.

x means mute all strings

Gv       Cadd9   C       G       D       Dsus    Em7     Gmaj11

Gv
I want friends who don't give a fuck again
                            x                        Cadd9    C
I'm going to do all of the things I said I'd do when I was a kid
                   G                        D
Exist between the margins not between the lines
Dsus                   Cadd9    C
Getting my hands dirty
                   Gv
Not living life romanticised
 
I see people that I love falling into mortgages
                                            Cmaj7    C
And low interest bank loans, income tax percentages
                        Gv          G       D
And it's all so fucking meaningless
Dsus               Cadd9
Trivial and self imposed
C                             G        D
It'll kill you if it can, and it wants to
                 Dsus  Cmaj7
It's knocking at your door
C                             G
Telling you to get what you paid for
 Em7    Gmaj11          Gv
And I know talk may be cheap
    Cadd9           C
But living has always always been free
   Em7       Gmaj11        G               D              Dsus          
And we are born with every single thing we could ever need
 Em7    Gmaj11          Gv
And I know talk may be cheap
    Cadd9            C
But living has always always been free
   Em7       Gmaj11        Gv           D  Dsus Cadd9    C     
And we are born with every single thing we could ever need
                    Gv
We could ever need  
 
Can't love anything before and after 9 to 5
 
The only thing you cannot buy is time
             Cadd9                                      Gv
And if you saved it with half the fucking zest you saved your money
         D       Dsus    Cadd9    
You'd realise

                x                      Gv
That there is nothing we need to buy
 
Just be happy that we were able to survive
                                    Cadd9
All we are is bags of bones pushing against
C            Gv     G    D
The self imposed tide
Dsus            Cmaj7               Gv   D  x
Just be content with staying alive
                          Cadd9 C                 Gv         G    D
Cause it'll kill you if it can...  and trust me it wants to
              Dsus     Cmaj7
It's knocking at your door
C                             Gv        x
Telling you to get what you paid for
 Em7    Gmaj11          Gv
And I know talk may be cheap
    Cadd9            C
But living has always always been free
   Em7       Gmaj11        G               D              Dsus          
And we are born with every single thing we could ever need
 Em7    Gmaj11          Gv
And I know talk may be cheap
    Cadd9            C
But living has always always been free
   Em7       Gmaj11        Gv           D  Dsus Cadd9    C        
And we are born with every single thing we could ever need
                    Gv          x
We could ever need  


Cause greed is glory and God is money
                                                Cadd9(palm mute)
Government is government it's all so fucking meaningless
                              Gv    D
They don't cancel each other out
Dsus                Cadd9     x                              Gv  Gv(15th fret)  D
We didn't need them then - We sure as hell don't need em now
Dsus                          Cadd9          C              D
We were born kicking and screaming filthy and free
Dsus                       Cadd9  C                   D        G
And that's how every other second... of our lives deserves to be
