I'm not good at chord names, so i used the ones from the other tabs, but this is how I play them:
Guitar 1: Capo 2 (Guitar 2: Capo 9)
  Em(022000)
   C(X30010)
 G/A(320000)
  D6(X00230)
  Am(X02210)
   F(X03210)
 C/D(X32010)
  G6(320010)
[Intro]   Em(Am)   C(F)    G/A(C/D)    D6(G6)
   Em(Am)           C(F)           G/A(C/D)         D6(G6)
All day long she's waiting for the night to ask her out
   Em(Am)        C(F)          G/A(C/D)      D6(G6)
To be somebodies dancer to get lost inside a crowd
   Em(Am)              C(F)             G/A(C/D)     D6(G6)
But there's no need to talk because the music is so loud
   Em(Am)              C(F)        G/A(C/D)        D6(G6)
Till a taxi drives her back into a morning full of doubts
[Refrain]
        Em(Am)
You can feel like part of something
         C(F)
If you're part of the scene
        G/A(C/D)
You can make your life so pretty
       D6(G6)
And a little Ice and Gin
Em(Am)                      C(F)
Wash off the make up and prepare the aspirin
     G/A(C/D)
You can get out of this party dress
    D6(G6)                              Em(Am)
But you can't get out of this           skin
C(F)    G/A(C/D)    D6(G6)
   Em(Am)             C(F)             G/A(C/D)        D6(G6)
His home is where his heart is, at the parties that he roams
   Em(Am)           C(F)                        G/A(C/D)     D6(G6)
He tells himself he can't be lonely, cause he's never on his own
    Em(Am)             C(F)                   G/A(C/D)         D6(G6)
But all the friends he makes at night, in the morning they are gone
         Em(Am)             C(F)              G/A(C/D)         D6(G6)
And he's left with his four walls, his aching head, his silent phone
[Refrain]
        Em(Am)
You can feel like part of something
         C(F)
If you're part of the scene
        G/A(C/D)
You can make your life so pretty
       D6(G6)
And a little Ice and Gin
Em(Am)                      C(F)
Wash off the make up and prepare the aspirin
     G/A(C/D)
You can get out of this party dress
    D6(G6)                                  Em(Am)
But you can't get out of this               skin
 C(F)    G/A(C/D)    D6(G6)
[Melodica Solo] (Guitar 2 strums)
 Em(Am)   G/A(C/D)    C(F)    G/A(C/D) (3x)
 Em(Am)                G/A(C/D)
Em(Am)             C(F)            G/A(C/D)         D6(G6)
All day long she's waiting for the night to ask her out
   Em(Am)        C(F)    G/A(C/D)    D6(G6)
To be somebodies dancer
[Refrain]
        Em(Am)
You can feel like part of something
         C(F)
If you're part of the scene
        G/A(C/D)
You can make your life so pretty
       D6(G6)
And a little Ice and Gin
Em(Am)                      C(F)
Wash off the make up and prepare the aspirin
     G/A(C/D)
You can get out of this party dress
    D6(G6)                                  Em(Am)
But you can't get out of this               skin
