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.

Am/C            D                        Gmaj7/B
No matter how I try I just can't get her out of my mind
           Cadd9
And when I sleep I visualize her.
Am/C             D                   Gmaj7/B
I saw her in the pub. I met her later at the night-club.
         Cadd9
A mutual friend introduced us.
Am/C                D
We talked about the noise
                     Gmaj7/B
And how it's hard to hear your own voice
          Cadd9
Above the beat and the sub-bass.
Am/C                     D                            Gmaj7/B
We talked and talked for hours, we talked in the back of our friend's car
          Cadd9
As we all went back to his place.
 
Am/C D Gmaj7/B Cadd9
 
Am/C            D                           Gmaj7/B
On our friend's settee She told me that she really liked me
            Cadd9
And I said "cool, the feeling's mutual.
Am/C          D                           Gmaj7/B
We played old 45's. I said "it's like the soundtrack to our lives
              Cadd9
And she said "true, it's not unusual.
Am/C              D
Then privately we danced
                     Gmaj7/B
But couldn't seem to keep our balance,
          Cadd9
A drunken haze had come upon us.
Am/C                D
We sank down to the floor and we sang
                    Gmaj7/B
A song that I can't sing any more,
            Cadd9
And then we kissed and fell unconscious.
 
Am/C D Gmaj7/B Cadd9
Am/C D Gmaj7/B Cadd9

  Esus4            Amadd9/E  Cmaj7/E       Cmaj7b5/E
I woke up the next day       all alone but for a headache.
Am6/E      Cadd#11/E    Emadd9               Em
I stumbled out to      find the bathroom.
    Esus4           Amadd9/E Cmaj7/E         Cmaj7b5/E
But all I found was her      wrapped around another lover.
Am6/E     Cadd#11/E     Emadd9                     C     D     Gmaj7/B     Cadd9
No longer then          is he our mutual friend.

Hi, I have a version that uses Gmaj7/B instead of Bm and it really sounds nice and is really easy to go from D to x20032.
+3

And the C chord should be AM/C
