C#m      C#m  
Do you remember anyone here?
C#m      C#m  
No you don't remember anything at all
C#m      C#m  
I'm sleeping, I'm flat on my back
C#m      C#m  
Never woke up, had no regrets

A         A#           B
There's a party in my mind
A       A#            B
And the party never stops
A        A#            B
there's party up there all the time
A        A#               B
They'll party till they drop

B                    C
Other people can go home
B                     C
Everybody else will split
B                     C
I'll be here all the time
B            C       C#m
I can never quit

Take a walk through the land of shadows
Take a walk through the peaceful meadows
Don't look so disappointed
It isn't what you hoped for, is it?

There's a party in my mind
And I hope it never stops
I'm stuck here in this seat
I might not stand up

Chorus:
Other people can go home
Other people, they will split
I'll be here all the time
I can never quit

G     Bm            F   C
Everything is very quiet
G            Am        E
Everyone has gone to sleep
G          D       F    C
I’m wide awake on memories
G          Am         C   D#
There memories can’t wait.

These memories can't wait
These memories can't wait
These memories can't wait, ooh
(Can't wait) These memories can't wait
(Can't wait) These memories can't wait
(Can't wait) These memories can't wait
(Can't wait)
