[N] [G]
I woke up on a sofa in an unfamiliar house
Surrounded [C] by sleeping folks that [G] I didn't know
[D] Failing to find my friends, I [C] decided that it was [G] clearly time to go
So I made my way out of the door as quietly as I could
And [C] there was no one there I knew [G] to say goodbye
[D] Squinting in the sadly [C] sobering sunshine of the [G] Sunday morning light
Cos [C] I started the night with all my friends [Am] and I ended up alone
[G] Oh yes, I started out [D] so happy, [C] now I'm hungover and down
[D] It was about then that I realised I [C] was halfway through the [G] best years of my life
So I scanned the local landmarks trying to find out where I was
[C] Or maybe even find [G] a bus back home
[D] I was longing for a shower, and for clean [C] sheets, and a [G] charger for my phone
[D] [G] And suddenly it hit me that I got paid this Friday last
So I [C] rifled through my [G] pockets for some change
[D] All I found was a packet of [C] broken cigarettes and a sinking [G] sense of shame
[C] Cos I started the night with all my friends [Am] and I ended up alone
[G] Oh yes, I started out [D] so happy, [C] now I'm hungover and [D] down
It was about then that I realised [C] I was halfway through the best years [D] of my life
I had to ask [G] myself, well, is it really [C] worth [G] it?
Is any of [C] this worth [G] it?
I was longing for a [C] place where [Am] I'd get to [D] figure [C] out a way [G] to spend [D] my [C] time
[G] And [D] [G] mini-snoops and dirty looks made me rack my brains
[C] The real damage started [G] to sink in
[D] It'd been quite a heavy weekend, [Am] but I could [G] just about [C] remember where [G] I'd been
[D] [G] [C] Cos I started the night with all my friends [Am] and I ended up alone
Oh [G] yes, I started out so [D] happy, [C] now I'm hungover and down
[D] I was stood on a street corner and I felt a [C] little sick
[D] It was about then that I realised I was [C] halfway through the first day [G] of the week
