[Verse 1]
  A              F#m      E
I sat outside my front window
D
  This story's going somewhere
A                    F#m  E       D
  He's well hung and I am hanging up
          A           F#m E      D
There's a song on the radio that says:
       A              F#m        E
"Let's get this party started."
         D
So let's get this party started
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A                     E
  What you do on your own time's just fine
F#m        E
  My imagination's much worse
A      E              F#m  E
I just never want to know
     A                   E
What meant the world had folded
     F#m               E
Like legs and fingers holding onto
A                E
what escapes me, what he has
  F#m              E
A better kiss that never lasts
 
 
[Chorus]
    D   F#m            E            D
You said, between your smiles and regrets:
       F#m      E  D
"Don't say it's over."
         F#m   E        D     F#m   E
Dead and gone, dead and gone, yeah
 
A            E                      F#m
  The calm before the storm set it off
        A         E     A
And the sun burnt out tonight
          E                      F#m
Reception less than warm set it off
        A         E
And the sun burnt out too
 
 
[Verse 2]
A            F#m      E      D
  This is me standing in the arch of the door
A             F#m         E       D
  Hating that look that's on your face
     A             F#m    E         D
That says there's another fool like me
        A              F#m     E
There's one born every minute
        D
There's one born every minute
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A                     E
  What you do on your own time's just fine
F#m        E
  My imagination's much worse
A      E              F#m  E
I just never want to know
     A                   E       F#m            E
What meant the world imploded, inflated then demoted
       A           E
All my oxygen to product gas
    F#m         E                D
And suffocated my last chance to say...
 
 
[Chorus]
F#m            E            D
  Between your smiles and regrets:
       F#m      E  D
"Don't say it's over."
         F#m   E        D    F#m E
Dead and gone, dead and gone
 
A            E                      F#m
  The calm before the storm set it off
        A         E     A
And the sun burnt out tonight
          E                      F#m
Reception less than warm set it off
        A         E
And the sun burnt out too

D               F#m            E          D   F#m E
Calm before the storm (set it off, set it off)
 
 
[Outro]
A
  Calm before the storm set it off
N.C.
And the sun burnt out tonight
                                 F#m
Reception less than warm set it off
        A         E     A      E F#m A
And the sun burnt out tonight
E              A       E F#m
Sun burnt out tonight
    A         E     A
The sun burnt out tonight
