[Ab] [Gb] [Db]
[Ebm]
I used to be your favorite drunk, [Eb] good for one more laugh, then we both [Ebm] ran out of luck,
[Ab] luck was all we ever [Ebm] had.
[Abm] You put on a uniform to fight the civil war, you [Bb] 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.
I [Abm] 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 [Ab] and the baby in the bath, 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, just
[Bb] 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 tired [Abm] story [Ebm] 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.

I
[Eb] cried for you this morning and I'll cry for you again, [Abm] 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 be [Fm] that drunk again.
[Db] [Bb]
[Ebm]
[Db] Okay, [Gb]
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.
[F] [Gb]
The [Db] party's over, [F] but I've landed on my [B] [Bm] feet.
I'll be [Gb] standing on this corner [Db]
where there used to be a [Abm] street.
[Bb] [Ebm]
[Gb] So let's drink to when it's over [Db] and let's drink to when we [B] meet.

I'll be [Gb] standing on this corner [Db] where there used to be a [Abm] street.
