[Intro]
E   B   A
[Verse 1]
If you Ego out on a high
Like the whole Bworld is about film
You're walking out half-way through Asticking to the streetlights
You have always Eliked the darkness accumulate around you
And anyone can see these people need each other more than anything
BAnd shining like a crystal ball that nobody sees a future in
But Aevery word you breathe to me is noble gas
Shining Ebright in violet, white and green and gold and red [Yeah]B  A  
[Verse 2]
EAll the light and heat
that sleeps in a match tip Bbecomes a delicate flame
Before Aall of the euphoria and clarity of vision fades fast Eassuming darkness once again
See the city's teeth sink into the evening, see Bthe light is draining
Feel the sky is bleeding, we will Ahold tight to these memories, let go of them eventually
We will Ebleed a trail of foreign coins down every fractured alleyway
These thoughts are only fleshwounds, they leave the smallest scars
They Bshrink like distant cities in the back windows of the car
With all the Abeauty that would be unlearned, but for the light the high-beams breathe
For the days Eahead when waking up is a death-defying feat
[Chorus]
Because Ethe party, the Bparty's never oC#mver
The Bparty's never oAver, that's just how I live my lifeE  
And chaos Bis a bed of wC#mires, Bis a bed of Awires for you to fully intertwineE  
And the party, the Bparty's never oC#mver
The Bparty's never oAver, it goes on until you dieE  
And stretches out Bin every direcC#mtion, Brising to horizonA  
For miles and miles and miles and milEes
[Verse 3]
ENo terra firma, no flood, no dove, no covenant
No hurt, no dirt, no virtue, Ano truth, no sleep,
C#mno drugs, no dreams, no Bswelling, no bleeding,
no Eghosts, no God, no believingA  
No C#mnothing you lost, no bets, no Bbreath, no words, no sweatE  
No faith, no land, no Alook, no hands
No C#mirreparable harm was really Bdone in the end
No Eirreparable harm was really done in the yeah yeah yeah
[Solo]
E   B   A   E    B    A    E
[Verse 4]
When we Esee each other now, these things seem distant, bittersweet and sanguine
BThese are the extremes that we will have to learn to hang between
AThe pressure builds up and then the cattle starts to sing
something about Ebeing here, appreciating every little thing
Knowing it's okay to be broken, still afraid to be hopeful
These ceremoBnies we all go through, still don't think I really know you
Or see you're Astruggling through to the other side of this
We all fall a Efurther short of what perfection's left inside of us
[Chorus]
EJust the party, the Bparty's never oC#mver
The Bparty's never oAver, that's just how I live my lifeE  
And chaos Bis a bed of wC#mires, Bis a bed of Awires for you to fully intertwineE  
And the party, the Bparty's never oC#mver
The Bparty's never oAver, it goes on until you dieE  
But you're on the Bprecipice of leC#mtting, the Bprecipice of Aletting this take over your whole liEfe

[Intro]

E B A

[Verse 1]

If you go out on a high

Like the whole world is about film

You're walking out half-way through sticking to the streetlights

You have always liked the darkness accumulate around you

And anyone can see these people need each other more than anything

And shining like a crystal ball that nobody sees a future in

But every word you breathe to me is noble gas

E B A

Shining bright in violet, white and green and gold and red [Yeah]

[Verse 2]

All the light and heat

that sleeps in a match tip becomes a delicate flame

A E

Before all of the euphoria and clarity of vision fades fast assuming darkness once again

See the city's teeth sink into the evening, see the light is draining

Feel the sky is bleeding, we will hold tight to these memories, let go of them eventually

We will bleed a trail of foreign coins down every fractured alleyway

These thoughts are only fleshwounds, they leave the smallest scars

They shrink like distant cities in the back windows of the car

With all the beauty that would be unlearned, but for the light the high-beams breathe

For the days ahead when waking up is a death-defying feat

[Chorus]

E B C#m

Because the party, the party's never over

B A E

The party's never over, that's just how I live my life

B C#m B A E

And chaos is a bed of wires, is a bed of wires for you to fully intertwine

B C#m

And the party, the party's never over

B A E

The party's never over, it goes on until you die

B C#m B A

And stretches out in every direction, rising to horizon

For miles and miles and miles and miles

[Verse 3]

No terra firma, no flood, no dove, no covenant

No hurt, no dirt, no virtue, no truth, no sleep,

C#m B

no drugs, no dreams, no swelling, no bleeding,

E A

no ghosts, no God, no believing

C#m B E

No nothing you lost, no bets, no breath, no words, no sweat

No faith, no land, no look, no hands

C#m B

No irreparable harm was really done in the end

No irreparable harm was really done in the yeah yeah yeah

[Solo]

E B A E B A E

[Verse 4]

When we see each other now, these things seem distant, bittersweet and sanguine

These are the extremes that we will have to learn to hang between

The pressure builds up and then the cattle starts to sing

something about being here, appreciating every little thing

Knowing it's okay to be broken, still afraid to be hopeful

These ceremonies we all go through, still don't think I really know you

Or see you're struggling through to the other side of this

We all fall a further short of what perfection's left inside of us

[Chorus]

E B C#m

Just the party, the party's never over

B A E

The party's never over, that's just how I live my life

B C#m B A E

And chaos is a bed of wires, is a bed of wires for you to fully intertwine

B C#m

And the party, the party's never over

B A E

The party's never over, it goes on until you die

B C#m B A E

But you're on the precipice of letting, the precipice of letting this take over your whole life

[Outro]
