Life Of The Party

	  		

Verse: 

E 
I picked up an old acoustic 
 Abm 
Thought my hands knew how to use it 
      B                         A 
But these days aren't like the old ones 
         E 
Or the songs we sang on the long way home 


Verse: 

   E     
I sat back down beside that girl who was texting 
     Abm 
And laughed out loud over obsessions with next things 
     B                   A 
And how every good song has the words 


BREAK: 

  Dbm 
Tonight 
      A 
Take back 
     F#m 
And burn 
         Dbm 
By your side 
          A 
Miss the way 
   F#m             B 
And I will never learn 


Pre-Chorus
 
B 
So if there's nothing new to say  
                                    E 
Then let's just say it all again tonight 



E          Dbm                Abm 
We had the best times of our lives 
 A 
Let's do it all again 
 E            Dbm                 Abm 
Take back my place there by your side 
 A 
And never let it end 
 E 
The hours passed like days 
     Dbm                
The nights were our escape 
Abm                     
We held onto our friends 
     A            F#m         E 
And made a couple million mistakes 
             Dbm         Abm 
We were so reckless and young 
    A           
Go get your CD case 
 B          F#m 
Let's drive around this town 
       A                           E 
Sing Dashboard at the top of our lungs 



Verse: 

    E 
I still remember my parents divorcing 
    Abm 
It took 10 long years of the back and forth thing 
 A            B                  E 
Finally I saw it in my mother's eyes 


Verse: 

   E 
A road you can choose that you can't come back from 
         Abm 
And the words you can say to add some traction 
         Dbm              A 
But it's what you didn't say 
      F#m        B 
That keeps you awake 


Pre-Chorus 

 B 
So we tell ourselves it's late 

And we save it all for another day 



E           Dbm               Abm 
We had the best times of our lives 
 A 
Let's do it all again 
 E            Dbm                 Abm 
Take back my place there by your side 
 A 
And never let it end 
 E 
The hours passed like days 
     Dbm               
The nights were our escape 
Abm                    
We held onto our friends 
     A            F#m         E 
And made a couple million mistakes 
             Dbm         Abm 
We were so reckless and young 
    A           
Go get your CD case 
 B 
Let's drive around this town 
       A                           Ab 
Sing Dashboard at the top of our lungs 


BREAK: 
Ab 
I want to go back 
                      E 
I want to go back tonight 
                       Dbm 
Could it be that we're one and the same 
     A 
The world never showed but it gave us a name 
      E 
That hole in your heart is the same shape as mine 
      B 
The piece has gone missing that filled up our lives 
      Dbm 
I'll stand here and I'll take the worst 
         A 
But the song was my own and I sang every verse 
      E 
I'm giving myself up there's nowhere to run 
    B 
If just for one night... 
 F#m             A 
Forget all our pride 
     B 
And have fun 

   E 
I want to go back 
        F# 
To the life of the party 
   B          E 
I want to go back 
   B          E 
I want to go back tonight 



E          Dbm                Abm 
We had the best times of our lives 
 A 
Let's do it all again 
 E            Dbm                 Abm 
Take back my place there by your side 
 A 
And never let it end 
 E 
The hours passed like days 
     Dbm                
The nights were our escape 
Abm                     
We held onto our friends 
     A            F#m         E 
And made a couple million mistakes 
             Dbm         Abm 
We were so reckless and young 
    A           
Go get your CD case 
 B 
Let's drive around this town 
       A                           Ab 
Sing Dashboard at the top of our lungs
