This version has the correct chords, helping to better fit the tune of the song, using suspended and 7th chords, rather than just open arpeggiated chords. It also has a more correct tab, allowing to play the entire intro, verses and chorus instead of just a single riff.Was this info helpful?

**************************************************************************
 
 
You can use the same pattern for the chorus, just play an Em {022000} instead of E7sus4
 
 
For the last two lines of the chours, you can repeat the intro riff once through.
 
Going in to the third verse, there's a muted 8th note downward strumming pattern on the [+3+4], but it sounds
better to just keep plucking the chords as in the other verses.
 
 
[Verse 1]
Gadd9                          E7sus4
They're blowing up our phones, asking where we are
     Am7                     D7
Just say we're almost there; we ain't even in the car
       Gadd9                            E7sus4
You're rolling one for two and I'm still picking out my shoes
          Am7                       D7
I'm never late to the party if I'm late to the party with you
 
 
   Gadd9           E7sus4           Am7              D7

[Verse 2]
Gadd9                     E7sus4
By the time we get there, everybody will be drunk
    Am7                              D7
The chairs will be on tables and the band will be unplugged
Gadd9                           E7sus4
We're gonna look real good, but we're gonna look real rude
    Am7
I'm sorry I'm not sorry that I'm...
 
 
[Chorus]
D7               Gadd9 Em
Late to the party with you
Am7
Oh, who needs confetti?
      D                        Gadd9 Em
We're already falling into the groove
Am7                               D7      *intro riff* Gadd9
And who needs a crowd when you're happy at a party for two?
              E7sus4
The world can wait
                Am7                      D7                     Gadd9
Cause I'm never late to the party if I'm late to the party with you

[Verse 3]
Gadd9                                   E7sus4
Let's promise when we get in that we'll try to get right out
     Am7                               D7
Fake a couple conversations, make the necessary rounds
Gadd9                              E7sus4
These kinda things just turn into "who's leaving here with who?"
        Am7
But I just want 'em all to see me come in...
 
 
[Chorus]
D7               Gadd9 Em
Late to the party with you
Am7
Oh, who needs confetti?
      D7                       Gadd9 Em
We're already falling into the groove
Am7                               D7      *intro riff* Gadd9
And who needs a crowd when you're happy at a party for two?
              E7sus4
The world can wait
                Am7                       D7                     Gadd9
Cause I'm never late to the party if I'm late to the party with you
