         There's glitter on the floor after the party 
                                        C    Am  F 
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby 
                                 C       Am    F 
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor 
  
You and me from the night before but

         You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi 
                                          C  Am  F 
I can tell that it's gonna be a long road

I'll be there if you're the toast of the town babe 
  
Or if you strike out and you're crawling home
