Standard (EADGBE)

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
