[Intro]
 Aadd9  Aadd9  Aadd9 Aadd9

[Verse 1]
Aadd9
 Sitting over here
               Bm7
 in the corner booth
D
 Hanging on to another
 Aadd9
 green bottle
Aadd9
 Give me one more taste
    Bm7
 of my lost youth
D
 Then it's last call
         Aadd9
for the truth
Aadd9
 Used to see a lot of
         Bm7
friendly faces
D
 All my friends every
              Aadd9
 night of the week
Aadd9
Celebrating our lack
           Bm7
 of social graces
D
 Staying true to our
        Aadd9
 ragtag mystique
[Chorus]
D                 E
 Give me one more song
          A
to sing along to
D                 E
 Give me one more dance
              A
to hold you through
D                 E
 Give me one more taste
    A
of my lost youth
D2                  Bm7
 And it's last call for the truth
D     E        Aadd9
 It's last call for the
      Aadd9   Aadd9  Aadd9
 truth

[Verse 2]
Aadd9
 I've seen what happens
             Bm7
when you stay too long
D
 But I guess I never
         Aadd9
get the memo
Aadd9
 I always have to hear
          Bm7
 the last song
      D
Before Johnny on the
              Aadd9
jukebox says go home
Aadd9
 Now it's time to take
          Bm7
the last cab home
D
 To my little place just
         Aadd9
 up the street
Aadd9
 Because the night ain't
          Bm7
so young anymore
D
 It's just another
                 Aadd9
ride in the backseat

D                 E

[Verse 3]
A                     Bm7
 Every night it's the same
D
 Have I given away
           A
my better days?
A                    Bm7
 Have I given up the game?
D                      A
 Will I ever change my ways?

[Chorus]
D                 E
 Give me one more song
          A
 to sing along to
D                 E
 Give me one more dance
            A
to hold you through
D                 E        A
 Give me one more taste of my
lost youth
D2                  Bm7
 And it's last call for the truth
D     E         F#m7         B7
 It's last call for the truth
D     E         A
 It's last call for the truth
