The party's over, the game is ended
Am7 Cdim D9 Bm5-/7 A A7M
The dreams I dreamed went up in smoke
D9 A#7M Fdim A7M
They didn't pan out as intended
F#7 B7 Fdim A
I should know how to take a joke

D6 F#m B7 D6 F#m7 B7
Gray clouds in the sky above have put a blot on my fun

I'll try to fly high above for a place in the sun
