[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


[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)

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


[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


[Instrumental]

G D G


[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)

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


[Instrumental]

G D G


[Verse 4]
(same as verse 1)

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


[Chorus 2/Middle]

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
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]
(same as verse 1)

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


[Chorus 3]

C
Well I started the night with all my friends
Am
And I ended up alone, 
G       D      C
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
