When The Tequila Runs Out

G C F C (2x)

[Verse 1]
G                             C      F                 C
Everyone that greeted me, was moving slow and drinking fast
G                   C             F    C
I was lost inside a painting on a wall
G                                   C       F              C
A pretty baby with a cigarette, was looking for a place to ash
G                           C        F    C
Stumbling toward the voices down the hall

G                                  C       F               C
They had 'Thriller' on the stereo, not the album, just the song
G                             C    F             C
For two dancers all in white, that no one really knew
G                                    C           F               C
There were a lot of leather jackets, there was a haircut reading palms
G                                     C    F             C
There was a line outside the bathroom that didn’t really move

[Chorus]
G                                   C            F    C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
G                                   C            F    C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
G                                   C            F    C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
G                                   C          F    C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain

[Verse 2]
G                                         C         F               C
Some girls forgot their bathing suits but felt like jumping in the pool
G                                C     F           C
Right after making sure the underwater lights were on
G                                    C        F      C
I was staring at a silhouette, I was blushing like a fool
G                             C      F               C
Letting everyone pretend they hadn’t planned it all along

G                                                C       F        C
Then our host burst out of his bedroom, with his glasses slightly bent
G                                 C       F      C
He gets up on the diving board to tell us how he feels
G                             C       F         C
“Ladies and gentlemen we’ve begun the initial decent,
G                    C       F      C
And now it’s time to pull up on the wheel”

[Chorus]
G                                   C            F    C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
G                                   C            F    C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
G                                   C            F    C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne

When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain

[Verse 3]
G                                         C    F           C
On the floor of the living room, I saw my past life passed out
G                  C   F        C
Laying next to her handsome new flame
G                                      C            F              C
I didn’t recognize his face too much, ‘cept for the grimace on his mouth
G                           C         F     C
He looked a lot like me, he seemed to be in pain

G                                         C      F              C
I didn’t hear the picture window break, I didn’t see the rising sun
G           C        F       C
But I could feel the morning breeze
G                                         C      F                  C
Then I heard her tired voice speak up and say “I think this party’s done”
G                              C         F              C
She asked if I could drive her home, and then she added please (Please)

[Chorus]
G                                   C            F    C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
G                                   C            F    C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
G                                   C            F    C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
G                                   C          F    C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain
