Verse 1:
G
The kids get drunk, the kids get sad,
Em7 Cadd9 G
They start telling stories that they didn't even know they had.
(G) Em7 Cadd9 G
And me, I always leave early so this is just what I hear.
G
The kids in the back are just up in arms,
Em7 Cadd9 G
that saying the same thing won't get 'em any new reaction.

Verse 2:
G
That guy from work, he is a friend of mine.
Em Cadd9
He likes the 5/8 time, he likes a 5th a night.
G
It makes him feel alright.
G Em Cadd9
And I'd choose murder over heart attack.
G Dsus4
I can't take the news, I can't face the fact that
Em Cadd9 G
this is all that I've really even ever had.
G
It's easier to just swim under the bridge
Em Cadd9 G
Than to stand right up and walk over it.
G
and I rolled over and looked straight up,
Em Cadd9 G
and saw there was no bridge and that water dried right up.
