I Missed Your Party
By Camera Obscura
Chords by kevtp28@hotmail.com
Capo 1st Fret. The original key is C#. Not 100% on the G7 in the instrumental bit.
VERSE 1:
C F
I'm genuinely sorry that I missed your party
G C
You should try holding all the guilt I still carry
C F
Is it any wonder that I say I'm burned out?
G
When you say you're bummed out.
C
'Cause I missed your party
VERSE 2:
C F
Bourbon won't kill it, so I'll just have to will it
G C
I won't drink the Kool-Aid, try not to be afraid
C F
You say you can see all the goodness inside me, dear me
G C C7
Say that you want me, for all that I can be
CHORUS:
F G
I listen to Billy Jo-el
F G
I watch Flashdance again
F G
I'm going to get through Walt Whitman
C C7 F Fm
I'm going to be in bed by ten
REPEAT VERSE 1:
The Roller Girls are rolling and the rocking boys are
rocking
Am I just holding onto memories golden?
REPEAT VERSE 2:
I could go out dancing to feel bodies close to my skin
I'd better stay in to face the trouble we are in
REPEAT CHORUS:
I listen to Billy Joel
I watch Flashdance again
I'm going to get through Walt Whitman
I'm going to be in bed by ten
I'm going to be in bed by ten
INSTRUMENTAL:
C F C F
Fm C (G7?) C C7
REPEAT CHORUS:
I listen to Billy Joel
I watch Flashdance again
I'm going to get through Walt Whitman
I'm going to be in bed by ten
C F Fm
I'm going to be in bed by ten
C
These days I'm well travelled
F
You can watch me unravel
G C
I'm genuinely sorry that I missed your party
