- F#m
Once upon a thrill from a kiss to a swill
Bm F#m
We were swallowing the nights like we have nine lives
Bm A
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
Bm A
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so...
Bm F#m
We were borderline kids with a book of disorders
Bm F#m
Medicating every day to keep the straightness in order
Bm A
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
Bm A Bm
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
[Pre-Chorus]
D C#7 F#m E
It's the false side of hope, where believers concede
D C#7
And there's only memories when it's over
[Chorus]
- A F#m D
So pour out some liquor, make it an old fashioned
A F#m D
Remember your youth and all that you do, the plank and the passion
A C#m D
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
F#m E C#7
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
F#m
Of your life
[Verse 2]
- F#m
Once upon before we were brilliant and bored
Bm F#m
Two dashes of the bitters, add some ice and you pour
Bm A
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
Bm A Bm
Dead and gone so long, seventeen so gone
[Pre-Chorus]
D C#7 F#m E
It's the false side of hope, where believers concede
D C#7
And there's only memories when it's over
[Chorus]
- A F#m D
So pour out some liquor, make it an old fashioned
A F#m D
Remember your youth and all that you do, the plank and the passion
A C#m D
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
F#m E C#7
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
F#m
Of your life
[Bridge]
F#m
(Get boozy, boozy, boozy)
Bm
Now it looks like a wasteland
F#m
(Get boozy, boozy, boozy)
Bm
Not the way that we remember
F#m
(Get boozy, boozy, boozy)
Bm
One more sip for the past
F#m
(Get boozy, boozy, boozy)
Bm
And always tip your bartender
F#m Bm
Get boozy, boozy, boozy
F#m Bm
Get boozy, boozy, boozy
F#m Bm
Get boozy, boozy, boozy
-
Get boo...
[Last Chorus]
- A F#m D
So pour out some liquor, make it an old fashioned
A F#m D
Remember your youth and all that you do, the plank and the passion
A C#m D
They were the best of times, they were the best of times
F#m E C#7
They were the best of times, they were the best of times...
