One Weird Evening

[Intro]
Gm Eb Bb
Gm Eb Bb
 
[Verse]
          Gm
It was another one of those rich houses
Bb
Owned by parents who somehow earn thousands
       Cm7
In a day, anyway
Gm7
Three stories high and open plan
Bb
Polished floors and tall wooden coat stands
       Cm7
The speakers are turned up to eleven
       Gm
The bass so heavy, shaking the heavens
Bb
Spilled drinks along the floors
   Eb
A piano against the wall
       Gm
But they won't let me play
    Eb
In fact there's two of em
             Gm
But they still won't let me play
Cm       Gm   Eb/G    Bb/F
That was one weird evening
 
 
[Verse]
Gm
Everyone was so far gone
Bb
Reaching out to the moon that shone
     Cm7
So bright in the sky, trying to touch it, they'll still try
Eb
So spaced out they reckon they can fly
Bb
Up there, through the ceiling
Cm       Gm   Eb/G    Bb/F
That was one weird evening
 
[Verse]
Gm
There's a chance they drank a lot
Bb
Tried to build a human bridge over an enormous drop
Cm
Glow sticks everywhere, there's even one in my pants
   Eb
I noted all the idiots, all the blatant sycophants
        Bb
Just tell her, I felt like screaming
Cm       Gm   Eb/G    Bb/F
That was one weird evening
 
[Chorus]
         Cm7
While everyone danced to the song that was playin
   Gm7
I just felt like the time was slippin away and
          Bb9
When everyone jumped and was a foot in the air
  Ebmaj7
I headed outside coz I didn't seem to care
         Cm9
They hovered and bothered the neighbours
                     Bb9
This is one of those parties you see in the papers, it's
Gm  Ebmaj7 Bb/F
One weird evening
 
[Verse]
Gm7
I met a guy, I know he told me his name
        Bb9
But I forgot, and then I met the same guy again
    Cm9
And so we do the same game that we just played
      Ebmaj7/G
So he tells me his name, but I forget again
Gm
When did the fun start to slip away
    Bb
At what point did his name fade
Cm7
Everyone else remembers it great
           Gm7
But at the end of the day
     Bb               Cm
It's just some stupid name of
Gm  Eb/G     Bb9/F
One weird evening
 
[Chorus]
Cm9
Head spinning, lyin on the floor
Gm7
Probably should get up before I throw up more
   Bb9
My memory's in pieces, it was a night to remember
    Ebmaj7
The irony is not lost on me
    Cm7
In fact, it's sort of pleasing
Bb9
I just know it was
Gm  Eb     Bb
One weird evening
 
[Instrumental]
Gm9 Ebmaj7 Bb9 Bb/F
Gm7 Ebmaj9 Bbmaj7 Bb9
Gm9 Ebmaj7/G Bb9/F Bb/F
 
[Verse]
          Gm
It was another one of those rich houses
Bb
Owned by parents who somehow spent thousands
         Cm7
On a partay! Anyway
Gm
Three stories high
Bb6
Thirty teens much higher
Cm7
Cracks in the walls from the speakers at eleven
       Gm7
Crying neighbours from nine pm till seven
Bb9
Clothes and sick on the floors
Ebmaj7
Junk all over the piano against the wall
              Gm
But they wouldn't let me play
       Ebmaj7
But everyone else sang anyway
              Gm
But they still wouldn't let me play
Cm       Gm   Eb/G    Bb/F  Bb
That was one weird evening
