Introduction:

Ab                                                                              Ab7  
        The night's not over for a while
                                        C#7+                                         E7+  
So what's the point of you leaving?
Ab                                                                              Ab7  
        A couple more just couldn't hurt
                                                     C#7+                 E7+  
It's the same thing every week
Ab                                                            Ab7    C#7+    E7+  
        It's just embarassing
                        C#m  
And it's hard to ignore the signs
                                                                                     E7+  
When your attention's placed on someone else
                C#m  
We'll talk for a while, I'm certain
Drowning, but it's not even worth it
             E7+  
It's getting late
     C#m                    E7+    Ebm7  
I can't stay
                                                        Ab  
I'll see you next weekend
Ab                                                                              Ab7  
        Too tired to act like someone else tonight
                                C#7+                                            E7+  
It's nearly three in the morning
Ab                                                                              Ab7  
        And don't you ever stop and think
                                                  C#7+                    E7+  
That it's all just meaningless
                          Ab                                                    Ab7    C#7+    E7+  
I can't breathe in the basement
                        C#m  
And it's hard to ignore the signs
                                                                                     E7+  
When your attention's placed on someone else
                C#m  
We'll talk for a while, I'm certain
Drowning, but it's not even worth it
             E7+  
It's getting late
  C#m                      E7+    Ebm7  
I can't stay
        Ab    Ab7    C#7+    E7+  
     Ab            Ab7                    C#7+    C#m  
I really want to go home
     Ab            Ab7                    C#7+    A7+    E7+  
I really want to go home
  F#7+  A7+  E7+  
(She's walking through the door, and now she's on the floor)
(The only thing we know is you can never go home)
