Intro
drum beat (4 bars; cowbell enters 3rd bar)
guitar [4X]:
* 2nd time only
Verse 1
When we started it was a lot of fun
And the times we had I'll never forget
But now I'm older and wiser and a bit of a miser
And it's crazy but I don't want to quit
Chorus
Now ain't it a shame, the party's over
Yeah, we couldn't keep foolin' around
Ain't it a shame, the party's over
Yeah, we got to keep our feet on the ground
Verse 2
Broken-hearted, it ain't a lot of fun
Though I have to I can never forget
And so I'm older and brighter and a bad criticizer
And I'm crazy but I don't give a shit
[repeat chorus]
Guitar solo

Verse 3
My old lady don't see a lot of love
But my guitar, I give it all it can get
So it's performin' and writin' and party all night
And call me crazy, but I ain't gonna quit
[repeat chorus]
Coda
repeat chorus chords to fade):
The party's over
(There are things to realize)
The party's over
Yeah, I'm crazy but I don't give a shit
The party's over
