Verse 1:
G               C   F         C
Everyone that greeted me, was moving slow and drinking fast
G          C       F  C
I was lost inside a painting on a wall
G                  C    F       C
A pretty baby with a cigarette, was looking for a place to ash
G              C    F  C
Stumbling toward the voices down the hall

G                 C    F        C
They had 'Thriller' on the stereo, not the album, just the song
G               C  F       C
For two dancers all in white, that no one really knew
G                  C      F        C
There were a lot of leather jackets, there was a haircut reading palms
G                   C  F       C
There was a line outside the bathroom that didn’t really move

Chorus:
G                  C      F  C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
G                  C      F  C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
G                  C      F  C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne

Verse 2:
G                     C     F        C
Some girls forgot their bathing suits but felt like jumping in the pool
G                C   F      C
Right after making sure the underwater lights were on
G                  C    F   C
I was staring at a silhouette, I was blushing like a fool
G               C   F        C
Letting everyone pretend they hadn’t planned it all along

G                        C    F    C
Then our host burst out of his bedroom, with his glasses slightly bent
G                 C    F   C
He gets up on the diving board to tell us how he feels
G               C    F     C
“Ladies and gentlemen we’ve begun the initial decent,
G          C    F   C
And now it’s time to pull up on the wheel”

Chorus:
G                  C      F  C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
G                  C      F  C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
G                  C      F  C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne

When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain

Verse 3:
G                     C  F      C
On the floor of the living room, I saw my past life passed out
G         C  F     C
Laying next to her handsome young frain
G                   C      F       C
I didn’t recognize his face too much, ‘cept for the grimace on his mouth
G              C     F   C
He looked a lot like me, he seemed to be in pain

G                     C   F       C
I didn’t hear the picture window break, I didn’t see the rising sun
G      C    F    C
But I could feel the morning breeze
G                     C   F         C
Then I heard her tired voice speak up and say “I think this party’s done”
G               C     F       C
She asked if I could drive her home, and then she added please (Please)

Chorus:
G                  C      F  C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
G                  C      F  C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
G                  C      F  C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking champagne
G                  C     F  C
When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pain
