  We were only  supposed  to go out  for the night,
  But it's been  a few hours  now since  it got light -
  We're a mess,  and the worst  part is we couldn't care less.
  There's water  in the ash-tray  and ash  in the sink,
  The carpet's  mostly soaking,  but there's nothing  to drink -
  We're a state,  and we're starting  to regret staying awake.
  And I'll pay for  my sins  when I  get paid,
  I'll stop talking  to girls  when I  get laid.
  I should have gone home  when I could, but  I stayed.
  But then I never  was the clever  one.
  We were only supposed to go out for the night,
  I did my best to go home but in the end I lost the fight with myself -
  To be honest I was hoping I'd go home with someone else.
  And right about now I should be starting my day,
  But instead I am sat here downing the dregs of yesterday,
  All the while trying to prop up both ends of my smile.
  And I'll pay for  my sins  when I  get paid,
  I'll stop talking  to girls  when I  get laid.
  I should have gone home  when I could, but  I stayed.
  But then I never  was the clever  one.
  But always  the one  to not see  that I'm done  and
  I need  to go home  and get to sleep,
  Always  the last  to see the moment  has passed  and
  I need  to admit  my defeat.
  And I'm lonely  - there, I said  it.
  I'm lonely,  but it's hard to admit  it
  When everbody thinks  that you're fine  all the time  and you're not.
 
  So we were only supposed to go out for the night...
 
  But who am I kidding? Try as I might I can't stop
  Until I've squeezed  out every  last drop.
  And I'll pay for  my sins  when I  get paid
 
  But I don't have a penny to my name.
  I'll stop talking  to girls  when I  get laid
 
  But I haven't had a shower for days.
  I should've gone home  when I could  but I stayed,
  And so I stay  up alone,
  And set off  on my own
  To the station  where I catch  the first train.

Readable chord sheet for I Really Don't Care What You Did on Your Gap Year by Frank Turner

We were [D]only su[D/A]pposed to go [D]out for the [D]ni[A]ght,
 But it's [D]been a few [D/A]hours now [D]since it got light -
 We're a [A7]mess, and the [Gmin7]worst part is we couldn't care [D]less.  [D/A]         [D]              [D]                [A]
 There's [D]water in the [D/A]ash-tray and [D]ash in the [D]si[A]nk,
 The [D]carpet's mostly [D/A]soaking, but there's [D]nothing to drink -
 We're a [A7]state, and we're [Gmin7]starting to regret staying [D]awake.

 And I'll [G]pay [F#]for my [Bm]sins when [A]I get [Em]paid,
 I'll stop [G]tal[F#]king to [Bm]girls when [A]I get [Em]laid.
 I should have [G]gone [F#]home when I [Bm]could, [A]but I [Em]stayed.
 But then I [G]never was the [A]clever one.  [D]         [D/A]                [D]                     [D]                       [A]

 We were only supposed to go out for the night,
 I did my best to go home but in the end I lost the fight with myself -
 To be honest I was hoping I'd go home with someone else.
 And right about now I should be starting my day,
 But instead I am sat here downing the dregs of yesterday,
 All the while trying to prop up both ends of my smile.

 And I'll [G]pay [F#]for my [Bm]sins when [A]I get [Em]paid,
 I'll stop [G]tal[F#]king to [Bm]girls when [A]I get [Em]laid.
 I should have [G]gone [F#]home when I [Bm]could, [A]but I [Em]stayed.
 But then I [G]never was the [A]clever one.
 But [C]always the [G]one to not [D]see that I'm [C]done and
 I [G]need to go [A]home and get to [D]sleep, [D7]
 [C]Always the [G]last to see the [D]moment has [C]passed and
 I [G]need to ad[A]mit my de[Bm]feat.    [E]
 And I'm [G]lonely - there, I [A]said it.
 I'm [G]lonely, but it's hard to ad[A]mit it
 When [D]everbody [C]thinks that you're [G]fine all the [A]time and you're [D]not.   [D]     [A]          [D]               [D/A]

            [see tab]
 So we were only supposed to go out for the night...
     [see tab]                                [G]     [G/f#]
 But who am I kidding? Try as I might I can't stop
 Until I've [Em]squeezed out [A]every last [D]drop.  [D7]

 And I'll [G]pay [F#]for my [Bm]sins when [A]I get [G]paid
       [G/f#]         [Em]          [A]
 But I don't have a penny to my name.
 I'll stop [G]tal[F#]king to [Bm]girls when [A]I get [G]laid
       [G/f#]          [Em]         [A]
 But I haven't had a shower for days.
 I should've [G]gone [F#]home when I [Bm]could but I [E]stayed,
 And so I [G]stay up [A]alone,
 And set [G]off on my [A]own
 To the [G]station where I [A7]catch the first [D]train.
