He said, Dear, I?m leaving, right there in the hallway
As the party roared on all ar[E]ound
And her head wouldn?t turn, O she [B]couldn?t look at him
In a [F#]whirlpool she [C#m]quietly [F#]drowned
[G#m]And she said to he[D#]rself, I [G#m]won?t cry, I won?t [D#]grieve
[G#m]But I?ll laugh and I?ll [D#]flow with the [E]wine
With the fast love of strangers we?ll sing [B]Sweet Bye and Bye
Happy [F#]Days and Auld Lang [B]Syne
How I [B]wish I knew all the old songs they?re singing
Such comfort they?re bringing to a heart that?s as empt[F#]y as mine
O it [C#m]lifts you so high, does the Sw[E]eet Bye and Bye
Happy [F#]Days and Auld Lang [B]Syne
And she said, I?ll be wearing my smile like a mask
And I?ll care for each stranger I kiss
And no-one will know that I?m wounded and cheated
So close to my moment of bliss
And sometimes you never connect with a song
Till it?s telling the way that you feel
Putting words to your story, all the pain and the glory
How can it be written so real
How I wish I knew...
