Intro:
Em
 
Chorus:
         G         C  /  D     C                   D
This is where the party ends - I can't stand here listening
 
    G  C      /     D      G  /  D   C  /  D
to you - and your racist friend
 
        G        C  / D      C              D
I know politics bore you but I feel like a hypocrite

talking to you - and your racist friend
 
 
 
1.
Em
It was the loveliest party that I've ever attended
if anything was broken I'm sure it could be mended
my head can't tolerate this bobbing and pretending
listen to some bullet-head and the madness that he's saying
 
 
 
Chorus:
This is where the party ends I'll just sit here wondering
how you stand by your racist friend
I know politics bore you but I feel like a hypocrite
talking to you - and your racist friend
 
 
 
Instrumental:
(Em for four bars)
 
|: D   G / A :|  (x7)
D -
 
 
(1st Chorus)
 
 
 
3.
Out from the kitchen to the bedroom to the hallway
your friend apologizes, he could see it my way
he let the contents of the bottle do the thinking
can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding
 
 
(1st Chorus to ending)
            G  C      /     D      G    C / D
talking to you - and your racist friend
 
G
 
 
-E.M.
