After Kevin plays the C in the verse, he usually does a hammer-on
like such:
e|----0-0-----0-----|
B|----1-1-----1-----|
G|----0-0-----0-----|
D|----2-2-0h2-2-----|
A|----3-3-----3-----|
E|------------------|
He also plays some other hammers like that but they aren't as regular so you can 
figure them out yourself.
The Dmafterparty's rockin', girl,
and Feverybody's Gdancing for Cyou,
but you're just Dmdrinking all my Ballantine
and Flaughing while your Glips turn Cblue.
Your fDmriends are all uptight
and everyFbody's in an Gawkward Cmood,Am  
so you keep Dmdrinking all my Ballantine
and lFaughing while your lGips turn Cblue.
Am
I'm not Dmreally planning on coming Fback
I thought I told you Gthat.
I guess I dreamt I told you Cthat.
Same thing:
The streets are slow and silent
and the backyard is a beat parade.
So, I'm just sweeping up the garbage
while I listen to the songs you play,
where everybody's trying but they
just can't get it straight.
So, I'm just sweeping up the garbage
while I whistle all the songs you play.
I keep changing my mind all the time
I hope you think that that's alright.
Yeah, I hope you tell me that that's all right.
So, I'm just slurring in the shade
when the daylight breaks,
and you and me have got it made.
Yeah, I think you and me have got it made.
