Based off this Youtube video of Wil playing the song on a rooftop

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

x means mute all strings

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
