[Ab] [Gb] [Db]
[Ebm]
I used to be your favorite drone, good for one more laugh, 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 were fighting [Ebm] for, wasn't all [Eb] that easy when you up and walked away, 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, [B] [Bbm] some people say it's empty
but that don't mean it's light.

[Eb] You left me with the dishes and [Ab] a baby in the bath.
[Ebm] [Ab] You're [Eb] tight with the militias.
You wear the camouflage.
[Abm] You always said we're [Db] equal, so [Abm] let me march with you.
[Bb] Just an extra in the sequel to the old red, white, and [Gb] blue.
[Eb] Baby, don't ignore me.
We were smokers.
We were friends.
Forget that [Ebm] tired story of betrayal and revenge.
[Abm] I see the ghost of culture with numbers on his wrist.
[Bbm] Salute some new conclusion that all of us have missed.

[Eb] I cried for you this morning and I'll cry for you [Ab] again.
But [Ebm] 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,
but [Bb] we'll never know.
We'll never ever [Fm] be that drunk again.
[Db]
[Ebm]
[Db] [Gb]
Okay, the [Db] party's over, but [B] I've landed on my feet.
[Bm]
And I'm [Gb] standing here on [Db] this corner where [Abm]
[Bb] there used to be a [Ebm] street.
[Db] [Gb]
The [Db] party's over, [F] but I've landed on [B] my feet.
[Bm]
And [Gb] I'm standing here on this corner [Db]
where there used to be a [Abm] street.
[Bb] [Ebm]
So [Gb] let's drink to when it's over.
[Db] And let's drink to when we [B] need it.
[Bm]
I'll be [Gb] standing on this corner [Db] where there used to be a [Abm] street.
[Bb] [Ebm]

[F]
[B] I'll be standing on [Bm] my [Gb] feet.
