    G         D          A            E
If we were a party then you were the music
    G           D           A          E
And I was the drugs on the table that you did
        G       D        A             E
It was body to body, so loud, it was stupid
       G             D       A          E
And through all the madness, all I saw was you
 Bm
and me
Bm
(Actin' like we were seventeen)

Chorus:
    G            D       A         E
If we were a party, the best party ever
          G           D                 A
We were drunk and in love, thought that it'd
        E
last forever
          G            D         A
'Til the cops shut it down (Oh, oh)
                E                    G
Turned all the lights out and kicked everyone
 D    A          E7
out (Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)

The neighbors are sorry, their plants are all ruined
I'm glued to my bed and I barely feel human
'Cause we were Bacardi,
it's good while you're usin'
But start to regret it when
you're halfway through it (No)
(We didn't make it past 3)

Chorus

                   G              D
Why can't why we cry because it's over
            A              E
And still smile 'cause it happened?
         G              D
I can't love you for forever
       A               E
But I loved you on my mattress
         G            D
Now I'm violently hungover
        A                 Em
And my house is full of trash
          G             D
Yeah, it didn't last forever
       Bm
But goddamn, it was a blast

Chorus:
If we were a party, the best party ever
We were drunk and in love, thought that
it'd last forever
'Til the cops shut it down (Oh)
Turned all the lights out and kicked everyone out
(Oh)
If we were a party, the best party ever
So much smoke in my lungs, told me we'd die together
Then I got real freaked out (Oh)
I'm simply too turned up to go settle down (Oh)
