Intro: [A, D, C#, F#] x2


A (x02220@1)       Dit (xx0232@1)was familiar to me, the smoke too thick to breathe

C# (x43121@1)    F# (244322@1)the tile floors glistened, I slowly sipped my drink

A (x02220@1)      Dand (xx0232@1)when he started to sing, you spoke with broken speech

C# (x43121@1)      F# (244322@1)that I could not understand, and then you grabbed me tightly


A (x02220@1)  F#I (244322@1)won't let go, I won't let go

A (x02220@1)       F#even (244322@1)if you say so, oh no

A (x02220@1)       F#I've (244322@1)tried and tried with no results

A (x02220@1) F#I (244322@1)won't let go, I won't let go


Interlude: [A, F#] x2 [A, D, C#, F#] x1


A (x02220@1)        Dhe (xx0232@1)then played every song from 1993

C#   F#
 the crowd applauded as he curtsied bashfully

A (x02220@1)        Dyour (xx0232@1)eyelashes tickled my neck with every nervous blink

C# (x43121@1)    F# (244322@1)and it was perfect until the telephone started


A (x02220@1)       Dringing, (xx0232@1)ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off

C# (x43121@1)       F#ringing, (244322@1)ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off


A (x02220@1)       Dringing, (xx0232@1)ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off

C# (x43121@1)       F#ringing, (244322@1)ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off


A (x02220@1)       Dringing, (xx0232@1)ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off

C# (x43121@1)       F#ringing, (244322@1)ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off


A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1)    C# (x43121@1)  ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off

F# (244322@1)       Aringing, (x02220@1)ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off


D (xx0232@1)       C# (x43121@1) F#ringing, (244322@1)ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing off


I don't know how you should end the song.
I'd recommend ending either on an A or F#.
I doubt you'd want to keep repeating the "ringing" part though.
Without the background drums and beats it gets really repetitive.
I'd just mess around with it for a bit and see what happens.
