The Real Damage Tabbed by Stuart Mansbridge [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
I woke up on a sofa in an unfamiliar house, 

C                       G
Surrounded by sleeping folks I didn't know

D 
On failing to find my friends

Am              C
I decided that it was clearly time to go
[Instrumental] G D G [Verse 2] (same as verse 1) So I made my way out of the door as quietly as I could There was no one there I knew to say goodbye, Squinting in the sadly sobering sunshine Of the Sunday morning light [Chorus 1]
C
I started the night with all my friends

 Am
and I  ended up alone

        G       D
Oh yes, I started out so happy

        C
now I'm  hung over and down

D
it was about then that I realised 

Am
I was halfway through

C               G
the best years of my life
[Instrumental] G D G [Verse 3] (same as verse 1) I scanned the local landmarks, trying to find out where I was And maybe even find a bus back home I was longing for a shower, and for clean sheets And a charger for my phone [Instrumental] G D G [Verse 4] (same as verse 1) Suddenly it hit me that I got paid this Friday last And so I rifled through my pockets for some change But all I found was a packet of broken cigarettes And a sinking sense of shame [Chorus 2/Middle]
C
I started the night with all my friends

 Am
and I  ended up alone

        G       D
Oh yes, I started out so happy

        C
now I'm  hung over and down

D
it was about then that I realised 

Am
I was halfway through

C               D
the best years of my life
I had to ask myself well...
G D C
Is it really worth it? 

G D C
Is any of this worth it?

G D C
Well the whole thing's far from perfect,

Am C D                               Cadd9 Cadd9/B Aadd9
But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
[Verse 5] (same as verse 1) Too many suits and dirty looks made me rack my brains The real damage started to sink in It had been quite a heavy weekend And I could just about remember where I'd been. [Chorus 3]
C
Well I started the night with all my friends

Am
And I ended up alone, 

G       D      C
I started out so happy now I'm hungover and down. 

D                Am     C
I stood on a street corner and I felt a little sick

D 
It was about then that I realized

Am 
I was halfway through

C               G
The first day of the week
[Outro] G D G D G
