Standard (EADGBE)

  We were only supposed to go out for the night,

  But it's been a few hours now since it got light -

  We're a mess, and the worst part is we couldn't care less.

  There's water in the ash-tray and ash in the sink,

  The carpet's mostly soaking, but there's nothing to drink -

  We're a state, and we're starting to regret staying awake.

  And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid,

  I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid.

  I should have gone home when I could, but I stayed.

  But then I never was the clever one.

We were only supposed to go out for the night,

I did my best to go home but in the end I lost the fight with myself -

To be honest I was hoping I'd go home with someone else.

And right about now I should be starting my day,

But instead I am sat here downing the dregs of yesterday,

All the while trying to prop up both ends of my smile.

  And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid,

  I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid.

  I should have gone home when I could, but I stayed.

  But then I never was the clever one.

  But always the one to not see that I'm done and

  I need to go home and get to sleep,

  Always the last to see the moment has passed and

  I need to admit my defeat.

  And I'm lonely - there, I said it.

  I'm lonely, but it's hard to admit it

  When everbody thinks that you're fine all the time and you're not.

[see tab]

So we were only supposed to go out for the night...

  [see tab] [G/f#]

But who am I kidding? Try as I might I can't stop

  Until I've squeezed out every last drop.

  And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid

  [G/f#]

But I don't have a penny to my name.

  I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid

  [G/f#]

But I haven't had a shower for days.

  I should've gone home when I could but I stayed,

  And so I stay up alone,

  And set off on my own

  To the station where I catch the first train.

the last verse goes something like:

we were only supposed to go out for the night...
