A
[Verse 1]
A D
That's how it starts....we go back to your house
A D
You check the charts....and start to figure it out
A D
And if it's crowded all the better, because we know we're gonna be up late
A D
But if you're worried about the weather, then you picked the wrong place to stay
A
That's how it starts.......
[Verse 2]
A D
And so it starts....you switch the engine on
A D
We set controls for the heart of the sun, one of the ways we show our age
A D
And if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up, and I still don't wanna stagger home
A D
Then it's the memory of our betters, that are keeping us on our feet
[Chorus 1]
A D
You spent the first 5 years trying to get with the plan & the next 5 years tryin to be with your friends again
A D
You're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can, yeah I know it gets tired but it's better when we pretend
[Verse 3]
A D
It comes apart....the way it does in bad films
A D
Except the part....where the moral kicks in
A D
And when we're running out of the drugs, and the conversation's grinding away
A D
I wouldn't trade one stupid decision, for another 5 years of life, oh
[Chorus 2]
A D
You drop the first 10 years just as fast as you can, and the next 10 people who are trying to be polite
A D
When you're blowing 85 days in the middle of France, I know it gets tired only where are your friends tonight?
[Verse 4]
A D
And to tell the truth....oh, this could be the last time
A D
So here we go....like a sales force into the night
A D
And if I made a fool, if I made a fool, if I made a fool on the road, there's always this
A D
And if I'm sewn into submission, I can still come home to this
[Chorus 3]
A A
And with a face like a dad and a laughable stand, you can sleep on the plane or review what you said
D D
When you're drunk and the kids leave impossible tasks, you think over and over, "hey, I'm finally dead."
A A
Oh, if the trip and the plan come apart in your hand, you can turn it on yourself you ridiculous clown
D D
You forgot what you meant when you read what you said, and you always knew you were tired but then--
A
Where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight?
D
Where are your friends tonight? Where are your friends tonight?
A
If I could see all my friends tonight, if I could see all my friends tonight
D D
If I could see all my friends tonight, if I could see all my friends tonight...
