After Kevin plays the C in the verse, he usually does a hammer-on
like such:
e|----0-0-----0-----|
B|----1-1-----1-----|
G|----0-0-----0-----|
D|----2-2-0h2-2-----|
A|----3-3-----3-----|
E|------------------|
 He also plays some other hammers like that but they aren't as regular so you can
 figure them out yourself.
 The afterparty's  rockin', girl,
 and everybody's dancing  for you,
 but you're just drinking  all my Ballantine
 and laughing  while your lips  turn blue.
 Your friends  are all uptight
 and everybody's  in an awkward mood,
 so you keep drinking  all my Ballantine
 and laughing  while your lips  turn blue.
 I'm not really  planning on coming back
 I thought I told you that.
 I guess I dreamt I told you that.
 Same thing:
 The streets are slow and silent
 and the backyard is a beat parade.
 So, I'm just sweeping up the garbage
 while I listen to the songs you play,
 where everybody's trying but they
 just can't get it straight.
 So, I'm just sweeping up the garbage
 while I whistle all the songs you play.
 I keep changing my mind all the time
 I hope you think that that's alright.
 Yeah, I hope you tell me that that's all right.
 So, I'm just slurring in the shade
 when the daylight breaks,
 and you and me have got it made.
 Yeah, I think you and me have got it made.
