             A      E7             A
Turn out the lights    the party's over
              E7
They say that all good things must end
          A     E7             D
Call it a night    the party's over
                        E7              A
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again

(A)
What a crazy, crazy party; never seen so many people
                                            E7
Laughing, dancing look at you you're having fun
Look at me I'm almost crying but that don't keep her love from dying
                                  A
Misery calls for me - the party's over


[repeat CHORUS]

(A)
Once I had a love undying - I didn't keep it, I wasn't trying
                                      E7
Life for me was just one party, then another
I had to have my party wine - I broke her heart so many times
                                                A
Then one day she said, "Sweetheart, the party's over."


[repeat CHORUS]
