Private Party
Recorded by Billy Mata
Written by John R. Lambert
[Verse]
GI’ve got a standing reservation at my Clocal drinking spot
I D7arrive here every happy hour exactly on the Gdot
That little corner table where Cnobody bothers me
Cause they D7know my heart is breaking and I don’t want compaGny
[Verse]
The waitress keeps ‘em coming so my Cglass never goes dry
She D7pretends she doesn’t notice when the teardrops fill my Geyes
While the jukebox tells the story of just Chow I did you wrong
While my D7heart breaks to the rhythm of those sad ol’ cheatin’ Gsongs
[Chorus] 
This is a private party Cinvitation only Gin honor of her memD7ory
This is a Gprivate party Cand I’m the one
And only Glonely fool D7invited that’s Gme
[Verse]   
Last call for alcohol thCey help me to my feet
And D7escort me to my yellow limousine parked on the Gstreet
Tomorrow night they’ll find me here Cexactly on the dot
For a D7standing reservation at my local drinkin’ Gspot
[Chorus] 
This is a private party Cinvitation only Gin honor of her memD7ory
This is a Gprivate party Cand I’m the one
And only Glonely fool D7invited that’s Gme
