C F
I took a step back as the room was filling up
C F C
I was packed against some people who were tossing up a strong vibe
C
Now the door's locked
F
And the shower's on
C F
And I realize I don't recognize anyone
C
But I don't mind
F G
Well the neighbors have complained damn near every night
F G
The neighbors have complained damn near every night
C
You shoulda shown up
F
Shoulda shown up by now
C
You shoulda shown up by now
F
With a knock at the door
G
The knock at the door as it goes
Am
Whoa...
C
Well now everybody's losing control!
F
Intoxicated circulation
C F
Just try and sit back, get my palette wet
C F
Getting mentally prepared for the consequences
C F
And you know why
C
Because that knock at the door
F
Calls the crowd to quiet
C F
The neighbors have complained damn near every night
C
You shoulda shown up
F
Shoulda shown up by now
C
You shoulda shown up by now
F C
Give it a rest, give it a rest, give it a rest
You shoulda shown up
F
Shoulda shown up by now
Am
You shoulda shown up by now
F
With a knock at the door
G
The knock at the door as it goes
C OR Am
Whoa... whoa... whoa... whoa...
F Am
There's no one left lying on the second story floorboards
F
And I'm sure they heard next door
C
But the bottles are hollow now
F
And there's room at the bottom
C
And I would take it all back
F
If I could, but I won't!
C F
Sit back, get my palette wet
C F
Getting mentally prepared for the consequences
C F
And you know why
C F
Because the neighbors have complained damn near every night
F C
The neighbors have complained damn near every night
You shoulda shown up
Shoulda shown up by now
You shoulda shown up by now
Give it a rest, give it a rest, give it a rest
You shoulda shown up
Shoulda shown up by now
You shoulda shown up by now
With a knock at the door
The knock at the door as it goes
Am
Whoa... whoa... whoa... whoa...
