[Intro] Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G [Verse 1]
Cadd9                                                 G
I'm sipping Flor De Caña and lime juice, it's three a.m.

Cadd9                               G
Blow a fruit fly off the rim of my glass

Cadd9                                                        G
The radio's playing Superchunk and the friends of Dean Martinez
D Dsus4 D Cadd9 G [Verse 2]
Cadd9                                     G
Midnight it was bike tires whacking the pot holes

Cadd9                              G
Milling humans' shivering energy glow

Cadd9                                                    G
Fusing the space between them with bar-throb bass and laughter
D Dsus4 D Cadd9 G [Chorus]
                 Em7  Cadd9*       G
If this were the last night of the world

             Em7   Cadd9*   G
What would I do?

             Em7  Cadd9* G
What would I do that was different

               Am7 Cadd9     G
Unless it was champagne with you?
Cadd9 G [Verse 3]
Cadd9                                   G
I learned as a child not to trust in my body

Cadd9                               G
I've carried that burden through my life

Cadd9                                          G
But there's a day when we all have to be pried loose
D Dsus4 D Cadd9 G [Chorus]
                 Em7  Cadd9*       G
If this were the last night of the world

             Em7   Cadd9*   G
What would I do?

             Em7  Cadd9* G
What would I do that was different

              Am7 Cadd9      G
Unless it was champagne with you?
Cadd9 G [Verse 4]
Cadd9                                 G
I've seen the flame of hope among the hopeless

Cadd9                                        G
And that was truly the biggest heartbreak of all

Cadd9                            G
That was the straw that broke me open
D Dsus4 D Cadd9 G [Chorus]
                 Em7  Cadd9*       G
If this were the last night of the world

             Em7   Cadd9*   G
What would I do?

             Em7  Cadd9* G
What would I do that was different

              Am7 Cadd9      G
Unless it was champagne with you?
Cadd9 G
