 B               A#      A 
 Drinking in the afternoon
 A                 G#      G 
 This is what it?s driven to
                             B 
 Is there anything else to do
 B                     A#     A 
 I could?ve sworn it?s three AM
       A            G#       G 
 It?s quiet in the room again
 G                           G 
 This is where the story ends
 
 Verse x1
 
 B               A#    A  
 Time for me to act my age
                    G#       G  
 I?m nothing if I?m not the rage
 G                            B 
 Like that would matter anyway
 B                     A#        A 
 I just don?t think you understand
         A             G#         G 
 I just don?t think you understand
 G                           G 
 A story needs a scene to end
 
       Aadd11     D       G  
 But it?s hard to say goodbye
     Aadd11                      D 
 At least we got to have this time
     G                            
 At least we got to have this time
 
 Verse x1
 
 B               A#      A 
 Drinking in the afternoon
                 G#      G 
 The loneliest hotel room
 G                             B 
 I hope the answer comes to you
 B               A#      A 
 This is not the way for me
                 G#       G 
 This is not my last defeat
 G                       G 
 Try to make the ends meet
 
       Aadd11     D       G  
 But it?s hard to say goodbye
     Aadd11                      D 
 At least we got to have this time
     G                            
 At least we got to have this time
       Aadd11     D       G  
 And it?s hard to say goodbye
     Aadd11                      D 
 At least we got to have this time
     G                            
 At least we got to have this time
     G                            
 At least we got to have this time
