^GEveryone that greeted me, was ^Cmoving ^Fslow and drinking ^Cfast ^GI was lost inside a ^Cpainting on a ^Fwall ^C ^GA pretty baby with a cigarette, was ^Clooking ^Ffor a place to ^Cash ^GStumbling toward the voices ^Cdown the ^Fhall ^C

^GThey had 'Thriller' on the stereo, ^Cnot the ^Falbum, just the ^Csong ^GFor two dancers all in white, ^Cthat ^Fno one really ^Cknew ^GThere were a lot of leather jackets, ^Cthere was a ^Fhaircut reading ^Cpalms ^GThere was a line outside the bathroom ^Cthat ^Fdidn’t really ^Cmove

[Chorus]

^GWhen the tequila runs out, we’ll be ^Cdrinking cham^Fpagne^C ^GWhen the tequila runs out, we’ll be ^Cdrinking cham^Fpagne^C ^GWhen the tequila runs out, we’ll be ^Cdrinking cham^Fpagne^C ^GWhen the tequila runs out, we’ll be ^Cfeeling no ^Fpain ^C

[Verse 2]

^GSome girls forgot their bathing suits but ^Cfelt like ^Fjumping in the p^Cool ^GRight after making sure the under^Cwater ^Flights were ^Con ^GI was staring at a silhouette, I was ^Cblushing ^Flike a ^Cfool ^GLetting everyone pretend they ^Chadn’t ^Fplanned it all a^Clong

^GThen our host burst out of his bedroom, with his ^Cglasses ^Fslightly ^Cbent ^GHe gets up on the diving board to ^Ctell us ^Fhow he ^Cfeels ^G“Ladies and gentlemen we’ve be^Cgun the ^Finitial de^Ccent, ^GAnd now it’s time to ^Cpull up ^Fon the ^Cwheel”

[Chorus]

^GWhen the tequila runs out, we’ll be ^Cdrinking cham^Fpagne^C ^GWhen the tequila runs out, we’ll be ^Cdrinking cham^Fpagne^C ^GWhen the tequila runs out, we’ll be ^Cdrinking cham^Fpagne^C

When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain [Interlude] G D F C G C F C (2x) [Verse 3]

^GOn the floor of the living room, I saw my ^Cpast ^Flife passed ^Cout ^GLaying next to her ^Chand^Fsome new ^Cflame ^GI didn’t recognize his face too much, ‘^Ccept for the ^Fgrimace on his ^Cmouth ^GHe looked a lot like me, he ^Cseemed to ^Fbe in ^Cpain

^GI didn’t hear the picture window break, I ^Cdidn’t ^Fsee the rising ^Csun ^GBut I could ^Cfeel the ^Fmorning ^Cbreeze ^GThen I heard her tired voice speak up and ^Csay “I ^Fthink this party’s ^Cdone” ^GShe asked if I could drive her ^Chome, and ^Fthen she added ^Cplease (Please)

[Chorus]
