[Verse 1]
[C]The [G]doo[C]r w[G]as open,[C]
I [G]was seething
Your [C]mother burst in it [F]was freezing
She [C]said it looks like [G]it's trying to [C]rain[G]
I was [C]lost, I felt [G]sea sick
You [C]convinced me that [F]he'd left
You said [C]keep talking but
[G]don't use their [C]names
I scolded your [G]driver [F]and your brother
We are old enough to know how
long you've been [C]hooked
And [F]we've all been through the war
And each time you score
Someone gets hauled and
handcuffed and booked
[C][G]

[Verse 2]
It felt like [C]four in the morn[G]ing
[C]What sounded like fir[F]e works
[C]Turned out to be [G]just what it [C]was[G]
[C]The stars looked like dia[G]monds
[C]Then came the [F]sirens
And [C]everyone [G]started to cuss
[C]

[Verse 3]
All [F]the noise was disturbing
And I couldn't find Irving
It was like two stations
on at the same [C]time
And then [F]I hid your car keys
And I made black coffee
And I dumped out the [Dm]rest [F]of the [C]rum
[G]

[Verse 4]
Nick [C]and Socorro [G]broke up
[C]And Candice wouldn't [F]shut up
[C]Fin he re[G]corded the whole [C]thing[G]
[C]Ray [G]he said damn you
[C]And someone broke [F]my camera
And it was [C]New Years
And [G]we all started to [C]sing

[Verse 5]
[F]Should [C]auld acquaintance [Dm]be fo[G]rgot
[C]and never brought to [F]mind
Should [C]auld acquaintance [G]be forgot
[Abdim]for the sake [Am]of au[F]ld lang [G]syne[C]

[Verse 6]
I was [F]leaving in the morning
with Charles for Las Vegas
And I didn't plan [G]to [C]come back
I had [F]only a few things
Two hundred dollars
And my records in a brown
pa[G]per sack

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 7]
I ran out on [G]Sheila
[C]Everything's in [F]storage
Calvin's [C]right I should go
[G]back to driving [C]truck

[Verse 8]
[F]Should [C]auld acquaintance [G]be forgot
an[C]d never brought to m[F]ind
Should [C]auld acquaintance [G]be forgot
[Abdim]for the sake [Am]of au[F]ld [G]lang syne[C]
[F]
