So I made my way out of the door as quietly as I could

Squinting in the sadly sobering sunshine

Of the Sunday morning light

Chorus 1

CI started the night with all my friends

AmI was halfway through

Cthe best years oGf my life

Verse3

I scanned the local landmarks, trying to find out where I was

And maybe even find a bus back home

I was longing for a shower, and for clean sheets

And a charger for my phone

G D G

Verse4

Suddenly it hit me that I got paid this Friday last

And so I rifled through my pockets for some change

But all I found was a packet of broken cigarettes

And a sinking sense of shame

The real damage started to sink in

It had been quite a heavy weekend

And I could just about remember where I'd been.
