Give Myself A Party

[(G)]I've got a lot of me[(C)]mories, to [(D)]last me the rest of my lif[(G)]e
So if you don't want to l[(C)]ove me,[(D)]baby that'll be alr[(G)]ight
I'm gonna take all the l[(C)]ovin' T[(D)]hat I had for yo[(G)]u
Gonna take all the lone[(C)]liness,
A[(D)]nd sit right down with the [(G)]blues.
I'm gonna give myself a pa[(D)]rty, serve old memori[(G)]es
Give myself a p[(C)]arty, [(D)]think of how it used to [(G)]be
Remember all the h[(C)]appiness,[(D)] that we once k[(G)]new
I'll give myself a p[(C)]arty, [(D)]just me and the bl[(G)]ues
.
A few of your love l[(C)]etters, a [(D)]photograph or [(G)]two
The gift you gave on m[(C)]y birthday
Wit[(D)]h words of I love [(G)]you
There's lots of things to t[(C)]hink about
When you'r[(D)]e happy being [(G)]blue
So I'm gonna take all the heart[(C)]ache
And s[(D)]it right down with the bl[(G)]ues.
I'm gonna give myself a party
Serve old memories
I'll give myself a party
Think of how it used to be
Remember all the happiness
That we once knew
I'll give myself a party
Just me and the blues.
