[Verse]
G
Rise and shine, get out of bed
Em
Get ready for the day
A
Get a coffee from the deli
D D7
And walk the riverbank
G
Be careful with your headphones on
Em
When you cross the FDR
A
Don't want to be a casualty
D D7
Before you make it to the bar
G F
And hide your shakes and worried face
Em C
Just sit down in the back
A
Your friends got there ahead of you
D D7
And night is falling fast
[Chorus]
C D
Oh, you know you shouldn't say it
Bm Em
So you're thinking it out loud
C D
Some things we lost are
Em Em B/D# Bm/D
never to be found
C D
But if you're gonna talk like that
G Em
At least buy another round
A C G
And we can keep drinking till St. Dymphna kicks us out
G F G F
[Verse]
G
This world is made of blinking lights
Em
They're changing all the time
A
But depending who you're talking to
D D7
It's likely to be fine
G
I watched you go from bad to worse
Em
The blues is here to stay
A
Sometimes it's the simple things
D D7
that make it all okay
G F
Oh, you don't have to lie, say you're alright
Em C
We're just happy that you're here
A
But if you yell and tell me to go to hell
D D7
Well at least you'd sound sincere
[Chorus]
C D
Oh, you know it's all a spectacle
Bm Em
When you go to take a bow
C D Em Em B/D# Bm/D
You always did get nervous in a crowd
C D
But if you need some company
G Em
I'd gladly stick around
A C G
And we can keep drinking till St. Dymphna kicks us out
[Bridge]
Am Bm
Let's get enabled
C D
Great minds, they think alike
Am Bm
I never was a good judge of when
C D D7
to call it a night
[Chorus]
C D
Oh, you don't have to say it
Bm Em
So you're thinking it out loud
C D
Some things go south and they
Em Em B/D# Bm/D
never turn around
C D
But if you want a confidant
G Em
I'd never let you down
A C G
Oh, we can keep drinking till St. Dymphna kicks us out
A C G
Yes, we can keep drinking till St. Dymphna kicks us out
