INTRO: GCAmD (4x) GCAmDG
When he turned 34, but who's counting
CAmD
He couldn't find anyone who wanted to party
GFCD
So he walked around a playground with a bag of Mickey's Tallboys
GCAmDG
And he heard the sound of laughter and he followed it for fifteen blocks
CAmD
There was a house between Mavis and Water
GCAmDG
They were out on the porch, they were inside playing quarters
AmD
And he said, "Don't you know the game Kazaam? It's a better game,
AmD
You point your elbow at someone and say somebody else's name
AmGCD
And it alternates whose turn it is and if you lose you drink."
AmGCD
They said, "Man, you really make us think, yeah, you make us think
G
And so..."
CHORUS:
CAmDG
Tonight we're gonna be the party
CAmDG
We will party all night long__
FC
We are the party generation
AmD
So have a seat, what's in the bag?
G
Party on
CAmDG
'Round about 1:00 or 2:00 it started winding down
CAmD
And he knew what they needed, they needed doughnuts
GFCD
So they walked out to Krispy Kruller's All Nite Sugar Palace
GCAmDG
It was there at the doorway he said, "Oh, well maybe not."
CAmD
Inside there were six women talking
GCAmD
They were the most justified angry ex-girlfriends
AmD
And they swivelled around slowly like they saw something bad
AmD
Through the eyes in the back of their heads, like he always knew they had
AmGCD
And they said, "What a coincidence" and "Hey you're just the man,
AmGCD
We were saying that you did the best you could, you're fine, we understand
G
And so..."
CHORUS:
CAmDG
Tonight we're gonna be the party (party)
CAmDG
We will party all night long__
FC
We are the party generation
AmD
You were the best, but we'll survive
G
Party On

INSTRUMENTAL: FCEFCDGCAmD
In the morning they sent him home with a designated driver
GCAmD
And he lay down and thought about the whole night
GFCD
And he looked up at the photo that he got at a junk shop
GCAmDG
It was only fifty cents, but he framed it and everything
CAmDG
It was the kind of party that you hope never ends
CAmD
The lucky party boy surrounded by his friends
AmD
And they were all in pointed hats, caught in a rebel birthday shout
AmDAm
And he was at the candles with his mom there to help him out
GCDAm
There was a lot that you could learn if you lay near them
GCD
Like if you listened, you could hear them, and he could hear them
G
They say...
CHORUS:
CAmDG
Tonight we're gonna be the party (party)
CAmDG
We will party all night long__
FC
We are the party generation

So lift your head, lift your head
G
Blow them out
