G Bm
When you and your cast of friends arrive
C
And the party reaches a new high
G
Don't you think it'll last too long
Am
Before you know it baby
B7 G
They break out into that song
Bm
That I know I've heard it once or twice
C
From where I just can't be precise
G
Even though it's irrelevant
Am B7
It's as if I've woken from
E
A confused and cloudy dream
F#m D Dsus4 D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2
F C
But you write the saddest song
F G
Turn around and make it a singalong
F C
The heart scratch melody
F D B
Means there's more than this for you and me
G Bm
When you wait by the door, look for your ride
C
Where the shoes are piled up on the side
G
And the dancing's out of hand
Am B7 G
Don't leave just 'cause they won't play your favourite band
Bm
And the night it goes on and on
C
And I'm waiting for slow songs
G
But I block out most of the singing
Am B7
Replaced by bells, is that your ride?
You only just arrived
F C
Could you write the saddest song
F G
Turn around and make it a singalong
F C
The heart scratch melody
F
Means there's more than this for you and me
D B
Yeah
G Bm
And the night it goes on and on
C
I'm through waiting for slow songs
G
But I block out most of the ringing
Am B7
Replaced by thoughts unjustified
I wish that I could write
F C
Could you write the saddest song
F C
Turn around and make it a singalong
F C
The heart scratch melody
F C
Means there's more to this than you and me
F C
If words could be combined
F C
To describe your trademark look tonight
F C
I'd write it out to boost my career
F D B
But you know that writing always takes me years
