[Intro] Gadd9 Fadd9 C (2x) [Verse 1]
Gadd9                                 Fadd9              C   Gadd9     
Everyone that greeted me, was moving slow and drinking fast

Gadd9                                 Fadd9      C   Gadd9
I was lost inside a painting on a wall

Gadd9                              Fadd9                    C   Gadd9
A pretty baby with a cigarette, was looking for a place to ash

Gadd9                                     Fadd9   C   Gadd9
Stumbling toward the voices down the hall.

          Gadd9                            Fadd9            C   Gadd9
They had 'Thriller' on the stereo, not the album, just the song

Gadd9                                        Fadd9          C   Gadd9
For two dancers all in white, that no one really knew

Gadd9                                 Fadd9              C   Gadd9
There were a lot of leather jackets, there was a haircut reading palms

Gadd9                                 Fadd9              C   Gadd9
There was a line outside the bathroom that didn’t really move.
[Chorus]
Gadd9                                           Fadd9       C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne

Gadd9                                           Fadd9       C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne

Gadd9                                           Fadd9       C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne

Gadd9                                           Fadd9       C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain
[Verse 2]
Gadd9                                                 Fadd9          C  Gadd9
Some girls forgot their bathing suits but felt like jumping in the pool

Gadd9                                  Fadd9     C   Gadd9
Right after making sure the underwater lights were on

Gadd9                               Fadd9           C   Gadd9
I was staring at a silhouette, I was blushing like a fool

Gadd9                                           Fadd9      C   Gadd9
Letting everyone pretend they hadn’t planned it all along

Gadd9                                           Fadd9          C   Gadd9
Then our host burst out of his bedroom, with his glasses slightly bent

Gadd9                                           Fadd9       C   Gadd9
He gets up on the diving board to tell us how he feels

Gadd9                       Fadd9       C   Gadd9
“Ladies and gentlemen we’ve begun the initial decent,

Gadd9                              Fadd9     C   Gadd9
And now it’s time to pull up on the wheel”
[Chorus]
          Gadd9                                 Fadd9    C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne

          Gadd9                                 Fadd9     C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne

          Gadd9                                 Fadd9     C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne

          Gadd9                                 Fadd9     C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain
[Interlude] Gadd9 Gsus4add9 Gadd9 Fmaj7 C (2x) [Verse 3]
         Gadd9                                Fadd9     C   Gadd9
On the floor of the living room, I saw my past life passed out

  Gadd9                                 Fadd9     C   Gadd9
Laying next to her handsome new flame

      Gadd9                                 Fadd9     C   Gadd9
I didn’t recognize his face too much, ‘cept for the grimace on his mouth

  Gadd9                                 Fadd9     C   Gadd9
He looked a lot like me, he seemed to be in pain

    Gadd9                                 Fadd9     C   Gadd9
I didn’t hear the picture window break, I didn’t see the rising sun

    Gadd9                                 Fadd9     C   Gadd9
But I could feel the morning breeze

      Gadd9                                 Fadd9     C   Gadd9
Then I heard her tired voice speak up and say “I think this party’s done”

     Gadd9                                Fadd9     C   Gadd9
She asked if I could drive her home, and then she added please (Please)
[Chorus]
          Gadd9                                 Fadd9     C  
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne

          Gadd9                                 Fadd9     C  
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne

          Gadd9                                 Fadd9     C  
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne

          Gadd9                                 Fadd9     C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain (noo)
[Outro] Gadd9 Fadd9 C Gadd9 Fadd9 C Gadd9 Fadd9 C Gadd9
