Diamond Rings - It s Not My Party
------------------------------
Key of D
Ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer.

VERSE 1:
We drove away inside a three wheelers
Across the pavement that we called our turf
Blown by the wind across the cold hard earth
Like dirty leaves in an old parking berth
REFRAIN:
Mmmmm, mmmmm
VERSE 2:
We are grown up and that is good we re told
But when do grown-ups become just plain old
Left on the vine until the frost bites cold
Like broken flowers buried in the snow
REFRAIN:
Mmmmm, mmmmm
CHORUS:
And if you want to throw a party, I can cry tonight
You would cry too if it happened to you, right?
I keep falling in and out of love with you
I ve never loved anyone the way I do you
VERSE 3:
Smiling politely almost all the time
Window reflections in the check out line
Born under punches and a real bad sign
Like two for one for just a dollar nine-nine
REFRAIN:
Mmmmm, mmmmm
CHORUS:
And if you want to throw a party, I can cry tonight
You would cry too if it happened to you, right?
I keep falling in and out of love with you
I ve never loved anyone the way I do you
You
VERSE 4:
We re tense and nervous running at the mouth
Afraid of just what everyone is all about
But keep on keeping on to hide our doubt
And hold a candle when the lights go out
REFRAIN:
Mmmmm, mmmmm
CHORUS:
And if you want to throw a party, I can cry tonight
You would cry too if it happened to you, right?
I keep falling in and out of love with you
I ve never loved anyone the way I do you
OUTRO:
You
You
You
You
