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

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