They found him in the gutter at the business end of another Friday night
Cm
Someone who'd clearly been there before
Fm
I didn'??t feel I had to ask him why
Cm
I have never understood why we need to know
Fm
The reasons for everyone else's strifes
Cm
Sometimes you don't need sympathy
Fm
To get the words right
Gm Eb Fm
Caught in anguish
Cm
He was
Eb Fm Cm
Sometimes that'??s enough
Cm
For here we're singing
[Chorus]
Eb Gm/D Cm
Oh, looks like the end again
Fm Gm Ab Bb
Her body bleachin' out into the waves
Cm
It's still the loudest thing
Eb Gm/D Cm
Oh, I wish I had all my friends
Fm Gm
Somewhere drinking
Ab Bb
The sunny afternoon
Cm
Into oblivion
Eb Fm
But that's not your fault
Cm
How could that be my fault?
Cm
[Verse 2]
Cm
So we walked into a house party
Fm
Of someone, someone somehow knew all about
Cm Fm
And all the young girls turned up late and drank us all to some kind of standstill
Cm
With looks of "Heard it all before"
Fm
And distant ideas of death and thrills
Cm
And in absence, asked the host if he had any left
Fm Gm Eb Fm
And somehow I did feel like yesterday was ours
Cm
But it's gone
Eb Fm
Yesterday was ours
Cm
All along
Cm
And they were singing
[Chorus]
Eb Gm/D Cm
Oh, looks like the end again
Fm Gm Ab Bb
Her body bleaching out into the waves
Cm
It's still the loudest thing
Eb Gm/D Cm
Oh, I wish I had all my friends
Fm Gm Ab Bb
Out there drinking the sunny afternoon
Cm
Into oblivion
Eb Fm
But that's not your fault
Cm
How could that be your fault?
