Intro
A D G D (2x)
[Verse 1]
A D G D
Everyone that greeted me, was moving slow and drinking fast
A D G D
I was lost inside a painting on a wall
A D G D
B pretty baby with a cigarette, was looking for a place to ash
A D G D
Stumbling toward the voices down the hall
A D G D
They had 'Thriller' on the stereo, not the album, just the song
A D G D
For two dancers all in white, that no one really knew
A D G D
There were a lot of leather jackets, there was a haircut reading palms
A D G D
There was a line outside the bathroom that didn’t really move
[Chorus]
A D G D
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
A D G D
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
A D G D
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
A D G D
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain
[Verse 2]
A D G D
Some girls forgot their bathing suits but felt like jumping in the pool
A D G D
Right after making sure the underwater lights were on
A D G D
I was staring at a silhouette, I was blushing like a fool
A D G D
Letting everyone pretend they hadn’t planned it all along
A D G D
Then our host burst out of his bedroom, with his glasses slightly bent
A D G D
He gets up on the diving board to tell us how he feels
A D G D
“Ladies and gentlemen we’ve begun the initial decent,
A D G D
And now it’s time to pull up on the wheel”
[Chorus]
A D G D
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
A D G D
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
A D G D
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain

[Verse 3]
A D G D
On the floor of the living room, I saw my past life passed out
A D G D
Laying next to her handsome new flame
A D G D
I didn’t recognize his face too much, ‘cept for the grimace on his mouth
A D G D
He looked a lot like me, he seemed to be in pain
A D G D
I didn’t hear the picture window break, I didn’t see the rising sun
A D G D
But I could feel the morning breeze
A D G D
Then I heard her tired voice speak up and say “I think this party’s done”
A D G D
She asked if I could drive her home, and then she added please (Please)
[Chorus]
A D G D
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
A D G D
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
A D G D
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
A D G D
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain
[Outro]
