So, looking through the other chord versions of this song, there seems to be a lot of range and variety.
The problem with this song is that there isn't really any guitar chords being played; just drop D guitar
riffs, fleshed out with the bass line and the continuous Dm chord played by the piano and the vocals.
I will add a simplified, more accuate version at the top of the page, but the chords with the lyrics is a more
complicated version suited for solo guitar, and is a lot more interesting and fun to play! Hope you enjoy!

I’ve been working on a cocktail called “Grounds For Divorce”
Dm          C              Bb         Am    Dm C Bb Am
Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleep

Doubt comes in on sticks, but then he kicks like a horse
          Dm            C                Bb           Am
There’s a Chinese cigarette case and the rest you can keep

And the rest you can keep And the rest you can keep

There’s this whispering of jokers doing “Flesh by the Pound”
     Dm        C                 Bb          Am
To a chorus of supposes from the little town hoods
            Dm          C          Bb      Am
There’ll be twisted karaoke at the Aniseed Lounge
        Dm                C            Bb          Am
And I’d bring you further roses but it does you no good
       Dm         C           Bb          A
And it does me no good And it does you no good

Down which of late I cannot help but fall
N.C
There’s a hole in my neighbourhood
N.C
Down which of late I cannot help but fall
