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 2.0 (same chords)):
This is where the party ends I'll just sit here wondering
how you can stand by your racist friend
I know politics bore you but I feel like a hypocrite
talking to you - you and your racist friend

Em
Out from the kitchen to the bedroom to the hallway
Em
your friend apologizes, he could see it my way
D
he let the contents of the bottle do the thinking
Em
can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding
(1st Chorus to ending):
G C D G G C D G
talking to you - and your racist friend
