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
