Verse 1:

                  E               A
        When we started it was a lot of fun
                  E                         A
        And the times we had I'll never forget
                     E                     A
        But now I'm older and wiser and a bit of a miser
                  E                         A
        And it's crazy but I don't want to quit

Chorus:

                         E       Dsus4 D   A
        Now ain't it a shame, the party's over
                   E          Dsus4 D    A
        Yeah, we couldn't keep foolin' around
                     E       Dsus4 D   A
        Ain't it a shame, the party's over
                  E              Dsus4 D       A
        Yeah, we got to keep our feet on the ground

Verse 2:

        Broken-hearted, it ain't a lot of fun
        Though I have to I can never forget
        And so I'm older and brighter and a bad criticizer
        And I'm crazy but I don't give a shit

[repeat chorus]

Verse 3:

               E/B             A/C#
        My old lady don't see a lot of love
                 E                         A/F#
        But my guitar, I give it all it can get
                E/G#                        A
        So it's performin' and writin' and party all night
                    E/B                       A
        And call me crazy, but I ain't gonna quit

        The party's over
