No more champagne, and the fireworks are through,
[D] [A] [Bm] [E]
here we are, me and you feeling lost and feeling blue.
[A] [Dm] [A] [C#m7]
It's the end of the party, and the morning seems so gray..

so unlike yesterday, now's the time for us to say..

you and I.
Verse 2
[A] [Bm] [A] [C#m7]
Sometimes I see how the brave new world arrives,
[D] [A] [Bm] [E]
and I see how it thrives in the ashes of our lives.
[A] [Dm] [A] [C#]
Oh, yes, man is a fool and he thinks he'll be OK,

dragging on (ooo) feet of clay (ooo), never knowing he's astray,
[Bm] [D] [E] [E7]
keeps on going.....anyway.

Verse 3
[A] [Bm] [A] [C#m7]
Seems to me now that the dreams we had before
[D] [A] [Bm] [E]
are all dead, nothing more than confetti on the floor.
[A] [Bm] [A] [C#m7]
It's the end of a decade, in another ten years time
[D] [A]
who can say (ooo) what we'll find (ooo),
[Bm] [A]
what lies waiting down the line,
[Bm] [D] [E] [E7]
in the end of...eighty-nine?

may we all have our hopes, our will to try,

you...and I.
