[Verse 1]
Gadd9Everyone that greeted me, was moving sFadd9low and drinking faCstGadd9  
Gadd9I was lost inside a painting on a wallFadd9  C  Gadd9  
Gadd9A pretty baby with a cigarette, was Fadd9looking for a place to aCshGadd9  
Gadd9Stumbling toward the voices down the hall.Fadd9  C  Gadd9  
They had 'Gadd9Thriller' on the stereo, not the Fadd9album, just the sCongGadd9  
Gadd9For two dancers all in white, that no one reaFadd9lly knewC  Gadd9  
Gadd9There were a lot of leather jackets, tFadd9here was a haircut CreadGadd9ing palms
Gadd9There was a line outside the bathroom Fadd9that didn’t really CmoveGadd9.
[Chorus]
Gadd9When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking chaFadd9mpagneC  
Gadd9When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking chaFadd9mpagneC  
Gadd9When the tequila runs out, we’ll be drinking chaFadd9mpagneC  
Gadd9When the tequila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pFadd9ainC  
[Verse 2]
Gadd9Some girls forgot their bathing suits but felt like juFadd9mping in the poColGadd9  
Gadd9Right after making sure the underwater Fadd9lights werCe onGadd9  
Gadd9I was staring at a silhouette, I was Fadd9blushing like a CfooGadd9l
Gadd9Letting everyone pretend they hadn’t planned it Fadd9all alongC  Gadd9  
Gadd9Then our host burst out of his bedroom, with his Fadd9glasses slightCly bGadd9ent
Gadd9He gets up on the diving board to tell us how he Fadd9feelsC  Gadd9  
Gadd9“Ladies and gentlemen we’ve Fadd9begun the inCitiaGadd9l decent,
Gadd9And now it’s time to pull up on the Fadd9wheel”C  Gadd9  
[Chorus]
When the tGadd9equila runs out, we’ll be drinking chaFadd9mpagneC  
When the tGadd9equila runs out, we’ll be drinking chaFadd9mpagneC  
When the tGadd9equila runs out, we’ll be drinking chaFadd9mpagneC  
When the tGadd9equila runs out, we’ll be feeling no pFadd9ainC

[Verse 3]
On the flGadd9oor of the living room, I saw my past Fadd9life passCed oGadd9ut
LaGadd9ying next to her handsome new flameFadd9  C  Gadd9  
I didnGadd9’t recognize his face too much, ‘cept Fadd9for the grCimacGadd9e on his mouth
He Gadd9looked a lot like me, he seemed to be Fadd9in painC  Gadd9  
I diGadd9dn’t hear the picture window break, I Fadd9didn’t see Cthe Gadd9rising sun
But Gadd9I could feel the morning breezeFadd9  C  Gadd9  
Then I Gadd9heard her tired voice speak up and saFadd9y “I think CthiGadd9s party’s done”
She aGadd9sked if I could drive her home, and tFadd9hen she adCded Gadd9please (Please)
