Intro

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

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