Ryan Scott Oliver - The Party Goes With You

      [Intro]
B G#m B G#m

[Verse 1]
B                   G#m          B
   We don't speak of names and faces
G#m
   Why should we?
B                 G#m              C#m7
   We don't speak of husbands or homes
           F#
Or work, or wives: un-happy lives
B             G#m            B
   All we've got are lips on faces
      G#m
Moving flawlessly
F#7                          B    G#m   B   G#m
   Holding secrets in our clothes

[Verse 2]
B           G#m                 B
   On the nights I catch you standing
          G#m
Are you waiting for me?
B             G#m          C#m7
   At the counter of this bar
           F#
Speakeasy, hole in the wall
B           G#m          B        G#m
   We minuet to cigarette and brandy
               F#7
Your favorite armagnac
                           B    G#m
Prohibition but there's no harm

[Chorus]
    E                    F#
But when you strike your goodbye pose
G#m              C#
Everybody knows, everybody knows
E                F#          G#m
   The party, well, it goes too
    C#
And damn it all, darling
E                F#      B  G#m  B
   The party goes with you

[Verse 3]
             G#m             B
...And I'm left with all the messes
        G#m
La, di, da
B             G#m            C#m
   Cleaning up for vows in gold
               F#
Our fraught affair turned solitaire
B          G#m
Wishing to take back
       B           G#m
Merely one of my yeses
              F#
Aching to be yours
                        B   G#m
And have my story all retold

[Chorus]
    E                    F#
But when you strike your goodbye pose
G#m              C#
Everybody knows, everybody knows
E                F#          G#m
   The party, well, it goes too
    C#
And damn it all, darling
E                F#     G#m  C#
   The party goes with you

[Bridge]
    E                      F#
And when we're dancing nose to nose
G#m                         C#
Darling do you suppose, oh, darling do you suppose
E                  F#            G#m            C#
   This party could be just us two, and I your wife?
    E                F#             G#m
Oh, oh, the gayest party, sad but true
      C#
It's true
E            F#        B   G#
   The party goes with you
E            F#        B   G#m  B
   The party goes with you
G#m                E
   The life of the party
       F#          B
In the party of my life
