[Verse 1]
                   Dmaj7
Drain a bottle of cheap red wine
                          Bm7
You'd drift off and fall asleep at night
                         Gmaj7
Grab my coat and take a walk outside
                           A
Light a smoke and kiss my youth goodbye
                              Dmaj7
You see I'm just as good as wasting time
                         Bm7
As John Paul is good at making rhymes
                           Gmaj7
Why do all the good ones have to die?
                              A
Yeah I wished I'd thought of that, before I made you cry

Dmaj7 Bm7 Gmaj7 A
[Chorus]
  Dmaj7       Bm7
Don't write your letters to me
  Gmaj7       A
Don't (get) wasted at the party
  Dmaj7       Bm7
Don't address your letters to me
 Gmaj7        A
Don't (get) wasted at the party

             Dmaj7
Why don't we wait?
          Bm7
Why do I take the bait?
              Gmaj7
I'm filled with so much hate
            A
I'm sure you feel the same
             Dmaj7
Fly down the interstate
           Bm7
I run a little late
         Gmaj7
Dinner starts at eight
                   A
What you don't know,this is our last date

[Chorus]
  Dmaj7       Bm7
Don't write your letters to me
  Gmaj7       A
Don't (get) wasted at the party
  Dmaj7       Bm7
Don't address your letters to me
 Gmaj7        A
Don't (get) wasted at the party

Oh~
Bm7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7
Bm7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7


            Dmaj7
My hands begin to shake
            Bm7
Why do I take the bait?
              Gmaj7
I'm filled with so much hate
            A
I wish I could stay
