C    Am    F    G    C

[Verse 1]
              G/B        Am
She was forty-four years old, or so she told me
           F
She'd been working for a man
                                    C
Who paid her twenty dollars just to hold him
             G/B  Am
I found that very sad
     F        C
Very sad

[Chorus]
           G/B Am                 F
Seems like an  odd job to have, I know
   G               Am
To love somebody
           G   F         Am
Some of us buy friends
           G   F
Some of us buy houses to live in
     G
It's all the same
           Am               F   C
We do some strange things

[Verse 2]
              G/B    Am
He was lonely and in search of some redemption
F
Though he paid her well
                                     C
He wondered if she'd be there in the morning
          G/B         Am
He spends all that he has
     F               C
On a working girl

[Chorus]
           G/B Am                 F
Seems like an  odd job to have, I know
   G               Am
To love somebody
           G   F         Am
Some of us buy friends
           G   F
Some of us buy houses to live in
     G
It's all the same
           Am               G  F
We do some strange things
           Am               F
We do some strange things

[Instrumental]
C    G/B  Am      F
C    G/B  Am      F      C

[Chorus]
           G/B Am                 F
Seems like an  odd job to have, I know
   G               Am
To love somebody
           G   F         Am
Some of us buy friends
           G   F                    Am
Some of us buy houses to live in
           G   F         Am
Some of us buy friends
           G   F
Some of us buy houses to live in
     G
It's all the same
           Am               F
We do some strange things
           Am
We do some strange things
G       F        Am               F
Yes, we do, very strange things
