[D]

[D]Well they cal[G]l me the lif[D]e of the party
[D]They call her the [E]bell of t[A]he ball
Wel[D]l we star[G]t befor[D]e anybody
[D]And I promise we[A]'ll outlast t[D]hem all…

[D]Well it star[G]ted when I was [D]in High School
[D]My mom and [E]my dad taught [A]me well
[D]A bottle [G]of wine at [D]Thanksgivin'
[D]And a Valium w[A]hen Grandma[D] raised hell

[D]So I had some c[G]hampagne at[D] a weddin'
[D]I believe th[E]at called it co[A]ld duck
[D]And the girl I'd[G] been ey[D]ein' all evenin'
[D]She took me ro[A]und back [D]and we sucked down
[G]The rest of t[D]hat bottle

[D]And things rea[E]lly star[A]ted to click
[D]Well we kissed o[G]n the bo[D]xes of Liquor
[D]And she reached dow[A]n and grabbed her[D] some Dickel
[G]And added so[D]me cola

[D]Far be it f[E]or me should [A]I pass
[D]For I thought that i[G]f I dri[D]nk another

[D]I'd certain[A]ly need me so[D]me aspirin
[G]On the ne[D]xt mornin'

[D]I'd tried not[E] to mak[A]e me a sound
[D]Cause the girl wh[G]o was s[D]leepin' beside me
[D]Had gained her[A]sel[D]f 200 pounding
[G]On bedro[D]om window

[D]My dad yelled[E] to jump[A] out of bed
[D]But she woke up [G]from all t[D]he commotion
[D]Insisting s[A]he give me so[D]me headlines
[G]She'd read in[D] the paper

[D]She said it [E]had been y[A]esterday
[D]They said if [G]you use[D] moderation
[D]Our mornings co[A]uld all be th[D]at way

[D]Well they ca[G]ll me the li[D]fe party
[D]They call her [E]the bell [A]of the ball
[D]Well we sta[G]rt before an[D]ybody
[D]And I promise we[A]'ll outlast [D]them all

This is a fun song to play! I still laugh when I play it!
