[Intro]
Db Ebm x2
[Verse 1]
Db Ebm I used to be your favourite drunk, good for one more laugh Db Ebm Then we both ran out of luck; luck was all we ever had Abm You put on a uniform to fight the Civil War Bb You looked so good I didn't care what side you're fighting for
[Verse 2]
Db Ebm Wasn't all that easy when you up and walked away Db Ebm But I'll save that little story for another rainy day Abm I know the burden's heavy as you wheel it through the night Bb Some people say it's empty, but that don't mean it's light
[Interlude]
Db Ebm x4
[Verse 3]
Db Ebm You left me with the dishes and a baby in the bath Db Ebm You're tight with the militias; you wear their camouflage Abm You always said we're equals, so let me march with you Bb Just an extra in the sequel to the old Red, White, and Blue
[Verse 4]
Db Ebm Baby don't ignore me; we were smokers, we were friends Db Ebm Forget that tired story of betrayal and revenge Abm I see the ghost of culture with numbers on his wrist Bb Salute some new conclusion that all of us have missed
[Interlude]
Db Ebm x4
[Verse 5]
Db Ebm I cried for you this morning, and I'll cry for you again Db Ebm But I'm not in charge of sorrow, so please don't ask me when Abm There may be wine and roses and magnums of champagne Bb But we'll never know, we'll never ever be that drunk again
[Transition]
Bb Abm Ebm F
[Outro]
Gb Db B Bm The party's over, but I've landed on my feet Gb Db Abm Bb Ebm I'm standing on this corner where there used to be a street Gb Db B Bm The party's over, but I've landed on my feet Gb Db Abm Bb Ebm I'll be standing on this corner where there used to be a street Gb Db B Bm So let's drink to when it's over, and let's drink to when we meet Gb Db Abm Bb Ebm I'll be standing on this corner where there used to be a street Gb Db B Bm The party's over, but I've landed on my feet Gb Db Abm Bb Ebm I'm standing on this corner where there used to be a street
