INTRO
G

Verse 1
  G
I woke up on a sofa in an unfamiliar house, 
      C                                                         G
Surrounded by sleeping folks I didn't know
      D 
On failing to find my friends
     Am                   C
I decided that it was clearly time to go

G D G

Verse 2
        G                               
So I made my way out of the door as quietly as I could
                   C                                               G
There was no one there I knew to say goodbye, 
   D                                             Am
Squinting in the sadly sobering sunshine
            C
Of the Sunday morning light

G D G

Chorus 1
   C
I started the night with all my friends
           Am
and I  ended up alone
                  G                    D
Oh yes, I started out so happy
                   C
now I'm  hung over and down
           D
it was about then that I realised 
          Am
I was halfway through
         C                         G
the best years of my life

G D G

Verse 3
        G
So I scanned the local landmarks, trying to find out where I was
        C                                              G
And maybe even find a bus back home 
          D                                             Am
I was longing for a shower, and for clean sheets
             C
And a charger for my phone

Verse 4
    G  
Suddenly it hit me that I got paid this Friday last
               C                                                          G
And so I rifled through my pockets for some change 
         D                                                       Am
But all I found was a packet of broken cigarettes
            C
And a sinking sense of shame

G D G

Chorus 2 / Bridge
    C
I started the night with all my friends
          Am
and I  ended up alone
                  G                    D
Oh yes, I started out so happy
                      C
now I'm  hung over and down
                 D
it was about then that I realised 
            Am
I was halfway through
          C                     D
the best years of my life
             Am
I had to ask myself well...
G  D          C
Is it really worth it? 
G                 D            C
Is any of this worth it?
G                   D                           C
Well the whole thing's far from perfect,
Am                            C                D         Cadd9 Cadd9/B Aadd9
But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.

Verse 5
    G
Too many suits and dirty looks made me rack my brains
       C                                           G
The real damage started to sink in 
                   D
It had been quite a heavy weekend 
                Am                   C 
And I could just about remember where I'd been. 

G D G

Chorus 3
            C
Well I started the night with all my friends
          Am
And I ended up alone, 
               G                    D                         C
oh yes, I started out so happy now I'm hungover and down. 
    D                        Am            C
I stood on a street corner and I felt a little sick
          D 
It was about then that I realized
        Am 
I was halfway through
             C          G
The first day of the week
