They Might Be Giants


Tom: G

Em

[Chorus]
         G         C     D    
This is where the party ends.  
C                  D             G
I can't stand here listening to you
C          D      G     D   C
 And your racist friend
D        G        C    D    
 I know politics bore you
    C             D                     G
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
C         D      G
 And your racist friend
 
[Verse 1]
Em
 It was the loveliest party that I've ever attended
Em
 If anything was broken I'm sure it could be mended
Em
 My head can't tolerate this bobbing and pretending
Em
 Listen to some bullet-head and the madness that he's saying
 
[Chorus]
         G         C     D    
This is where the party ends.  
C                  D             G
I can't stand here listening to you
C          D      G     D   C
 And your racist friend
D        G        C    D    
 I know politics bore you
    C             D                     G
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
C         D      G
 And your racist friend

This is where the party ends.

I can't stand here listening to you
C          D      G     D   C
 And your racist friend
D        G        C    D    
 I know politics bore you
    C             D                     G
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
C         D      G
 And your racist friend

[Verse 2]
Em
 Out from the kitchen to the bedroom to the hallway
Em
 Your friend apologizes, he could see it my way
Em
 He let the contents of the bottle do the thinking
Em
 Can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding
 
[Chorus]
         G         C     D    
This is where the party ends.  
C                  D             G
I can't stand here listening to you
C          D      G     D   C
 And your racist friend
D        G        C    D    
 I know politics bore you
    C             D                     G
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to you
C         D      G      C  D
 And your racist friend
G
FIN!
