Intro: solo single-coil lead guitar playing a

Verse

Somebody hung my old jacket on the stair rail
Somebody built a deck out back and painted it gray
Marie's kid is nineteen now and pouring the drinks
And nobody asked me one thing about where I'd been
Same six people, same three jokes, same lawn chairs
Same numbers in my thumb I never deleted

Chorus

The party went bad at one
Nobody threw a punch
The party went bad at one
I was the only thing that changed

Verse

I told the one about the winter I spent in Duluth
And I watched their eyes go polite around the room
Dave said, so you still doing that? and turned to the grill
Twelve fifty on the microwave clock, I counted it
Went out for a smoke on the driveway with no coat
And the storm door clicked behind me like it meant it

Chorus

The party went bad at one
Nobody threw a punch
The party went bad at one
I was the only thing that changed

Break

Cold gets in your teeth
Cold gets in your teeth
They're laughing in there and it isn't about me
And it isn't about me

Bridge

I came back thinking I'd come back sharper
I came back thinking they'd all look smaller
Six years and nobody moved an inch
And that was the deal, and I'm the one who broke it
Standing on the driveway on Elgin Street
With a cigarette and a hood full of dead insects

Chorus

The party went bad at one
Nobody threw a punch
The party went bad at one
I was the only thing that changed
The party went bad at one
And I drove home to a cat
The party went bad at one
I was the only thing that changed
