Intro
F# B E B (2x)
[Verse 1]
F# B E B
Everyone that greeted me, was moving slow and drinking fast
F# B E B
I was lost inside a painting on a wall
F# B E B
G# pretty baby with a cigarette, was looking for a place to ash
F# B E B
Stumbling toward the voices down the hall
F# B E B
They had 'Thriller' on the stereo, not the album, just the song
F# B E B
For two dancers all in white, that no one really knew
F# B E B
There were a lot of leather jackets, there was a haircut reading palms
F# B E B
There was a line outside the bathroom that didn’t really move
[Chorus]
F# B E B
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
F# B E B
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
F# B E B
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
F# B E B
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain
[Verse 2]
F# B E B
Some girls forgot their bathing suits but felt like jumping in the pool
F# B E B
Right after making sure the underwater lights were on
F# B E B
I was staring at a silhouette, I was blushing like a fool
F# B E B
Letting everyone pretend they hadn’t planned it all along
F# B E B
Then our host burst out of his bedroom, with his glasses slightly bent
F# B E B
He gets up on the diving board to tell us how he feels
F# B E B
“Ladies and gentlemen we’ve begun the initial decent,
F# B E B
And now it’s time to pull up on the wheel”
[Chorus]
F# B E B
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
F# B E B
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
F# B E B
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain
[Interlude]
F# C# E B
F# B E B (2x)
[Verse 3]
F# B E B
On the floor of the living room, I saw my past life passed out
F# B E B
Laying next to her handsome new flame
F# B E B
I didn’t recognize his face too much, ‘cept for the grimace on his mouth
F# B E B
He looked a lot like me, he seemed to be in pain
F# B E B
I didn’t hear the picture window break, I didn’t see the rising sun
F# B E B
But I could feel the morning breeze
F# B E B
Then I heard her tired voice speak up and say “I think this party’s done”
F# B E B
She asked if I could drive her home, and then she added please (Please)
[Chorus]
F# B E B
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
F# B E B
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
F# B E B
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
F# B E B
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain
[Outro]
