CThe door was open I was seething G
CYour mother burst in it was freezing F
CShe said it looks like it’s trying to rGain C

CYou convinced me that he’d left F
CYou said keep talking but don’t use any names G C

We are old enough to know how long you’ve been hooked C
FAnd we’ve all been through the war
And each time you score
Someone gets hauled and handcuffed and booked C G
CIt felt like four in the morning G
CWhat sounded like fire works F
CTurned out to be just what it waGs C
CThe stars looked like diamonds G
CThen came the sirens F
CAnd everyone started to cGuss C
FAll the noise was disturbing
And I couldn’t find Irving
It was like two stations on at the same time C
FAnd then I hid your car keys
And I made black coffee
And I dumped out the rest of the rum C G
CNick and Socorro broke up G
CAnd Candice wouldn’t shut up F
CFin he recorded theG whole thing C
CRay he said damn you G
CAnd someone broke my camera F
CAnd it was New Years

CCalvin’s right I should go back toG driving truck C
FShould auld acquaintance beC forgot and never bGrought to mind C F
FShould auld acquaintance be Cforgot for the sakeG of auld lanAmg syne F C
