D D/A D D/A
We were only supposed to go out for the night,
D D/A D
But it's been a few hours now since it got light -
A7 Gmin7 D D/A D D/A
We're a mess, and the worst part is we couldn't care less.
D D/A D D/A
There's water in the ash-tray and ash in the sink,
D D/A D
The carpet's mostly soaking, but there's nothing to drink -
A7 Gmin7 D
We're a state, and we're starting to regret staying awake.
G F# Bm A Em
And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid,
G F# Bm A Em
I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid.
G F# Bm A Em
I should have gone home when I could, but I stayed.
G A D D/A D D/A
But then I never was the clever one.
We were only supposed to go out for the night,
I did my best to go home but in the end I lost the fight with myself -
To be honest I was hoping I'd go home with someone else.
And right about now I should be starting my day,
But instead I am sat here downing the dregs of yesterday,
All the while trying to prop up both ends of my smile.
G F# Bm A Em
And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid,
G F# Bm A Em
I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid.
G F# Bm A Em
I should have gone home when I could, but I stayed.
G A
But then I never was the clever one.
C G D C
But always the one to not see that I'm done and
G A D D7
I need to go home and get to sleep,
C G D C
Always the last to see the moment has passed and
G A Bm E

I need to admit my defeat.
G A
And I'm lonely - there, I said it.
G A
I'm lonely, but it's hard to admit it
D C G A D D/A D D/A
When everbody thinks that you're fine all the time and you're not.
[see tab]
So we were only supposed to go out for the night...
[see tab] G G/F#
But who am I kidding? Try as I might I can't stop
Em A D D7
Until I've squeezed out every last drop.
G F# Bm A G
And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid
G/F# Em A
But I don't have a penny to my name.
G F# Bm A G
I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid
G/F# Em A
But I haven't had a shower for days.
G F# Bm E
I should've gone home when I could but I stayed,
G A
And so I stay up alone,
G A
And set off on my own
G A7 D
To the station where I catch the first train.
