[Intro] 
F,Dm,F,Dm  
[Verse 1]
FDamn she hurts the morning after
Drunk on Dmthinking I could have her
FStrung her out long like lights on a balcDmony
FCome Wednesday, she don't care
Tuesday Dmnight I had her here
FLike beads and feathers, it was heaven her hanging on Dmme
[Chorus]
She took me for a Fride, hit a new high
Throwing coDmnfetti in her green eyes
Trying like Fhell to hold the bell of a Dmball
She pulled me Fin a world of wonder
It's a chaDmrade trying to love her
It's like Ftrying to save a soul from Mardi DmGras
From Mardi FGras
[Interlude]

FTrashed my heart just like these streets
Her perDmfume's all over me
Just Freminded me of a night I can't forDmget
She parFaded me around
Swirled eyes, Dmnot I had a crown on my Fhead till she left
Thought she'd Dmstay, but instead
[Chorus]
She took me for a Fride, hit a new high
Throwing coDmnfetti in her green eyes
Trying like Fhell to hold the bell of a Dmball
She pulled me Fin a world of wonder
It's a chaDmrade trying to love her
It's like Ftrying to save a soul from Mardi DmGras
From Mardi FGras
From Mardi DmGras

[Verse 1]

Damn she hurts the morning after

Drunk on thinking I could have her

F Dm

Strung her out long like lights on a balcony

Come Wednesday, she don't care

Tuesday night I had her here

F Dm

Like beads and feathers, it was heaven her hanging on me

[Chorus]

She took me for a ride, hit a new high

Throwing confetti in her green eyes

F Dm

Trying like hell to hold the bell of a ball

She pulled me in a world of wonder

It's a charade trying to love her

F Dm

It's like trying to save a soul from Mardi Gras

From Mardi Gras

[Interlude]

F Dm

[Verse 2]

Trashed my heart just like these streets

Her perfume's all over me

Just reminded me of a night I can't forget

She paraded me around

Swirled eyes, not I had a crown on my head till she left

Thought she'd stay, but instead

[Chorus]

She took me for a ride, hit a new high

Throwing confetti in her green eyes

F Dm

Trying like hell to hold the bell of a ball

She pulled me in a world of wonder

It's a charade trying to love her
