INTRO:
A  D  A  D

VERSE 1:
          A                D
Well, the lipstick on your glass
A           D 
Is all that remains
    A                 D    
And the whisper in my ear
    A         D 
The subtle refrain


CHORUS:
E                    D               A           D
The clock ticking is telling me that this year's dead and gone
E                 D    
And Dick Clark is counting down
        A              D
And I'm chain smoking...
          A             D 
Well, I'm chain smoking...
          A             D 
Well, I'm chain smoking...
    E        D 
And drinking cheap champagne

A  D  A  D

VERSE 2:
        A                      D 
Well, I laughed at all of your jokes
      A             D
There really were a few
             A                D
But when you walked out of my house
  A                      D   
I guessed I laughed then too

CHORUS:
E                    D               A                       D  
The clock ticking is telling me that this year's dead and gone
E                     D
I'm singing Auld Lang Syne alone
        A              D 
And I'm chain smoking...
          A            D
Well, I'm chain smoking...
          A            D 
Well, I'm chain smoking...
    E        D
And drinking cheap champagne

A  D
A                      D      
(are you ready, Cary?  uh-huh)


BRIDGE:
        E  
Well, I got what I wanted
    D                             A 
And maybe I believe that it's the best thing I ever had
    E
You walked out forever
  
And said "I'll write a letter
    D                 E               A 
And maybe you'll find someone on your own"

A  D  A  D  A  D  A  D

VERSE 3:
        A                D         
Now the lipstick on your glass
   A            D
Is just another stain
             A               D
Well, in the wee hour of the year
  A                  D
A resolution to your pain


CHORUS:
E                    D               A                    D   
The clock ticking is telling me that this year's dead and gone
E                   D
And Times Square is clearing out
        A     D
And I'm chain smoking....
          A     D 
Well, I'm chain smoking, yeah...
          A     D 
Well, I'm chain smoking...
    E        D
And drinking cheap champagne
A   D
          E        D 
Well, I'm drinking cheap champagne

A   D
          E        D             A
 
Well, I'm drinking cheap champagne
