Virtual Party Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]You're invited to the virtual party dot
[Em]com[D][G][D][G][Em][D][G]
It's eleven o 'clock in the evening
I'm [Em]barefoot and I'm logged
on to the [D]internet
You're invited to a virtual [G]party[D]
I [G]usually pick up an email
in the [Em]af ternoon
But on weekends some
[D]times I [Dsus4]forget[G]
[Em]I yell out in the hall to the bedroom,
Honey, I'll be [D]right there.
She [Em]says, that's okay,
I got a brand new book,
And [F]I'm not going any[Dm]where.
[D]Fun[G]ny thing about a couple[Em],
couple of [D]years gone by,
[G]You don't talk,
you think you [Em]know each other so well,
You [D]don't have to try.
You [Em]take for granted what you used
to call enchanted just a [D]while ago
[Em]When does a mystery turn into
[C]history? I don't [Dsus4]know
[G]Anyway, I got a meg[Em]abyte of data
coming [D]down the [Dsus4]line[G]
[Gm]I got [D]a
[G]Wall
Street profile,
got a [Em]spreadsheet from a friend of [D]mine
But [Gm]up on the screen,
pops a little green box that says [Am]click on [D]me
Some[Gm]where, I swear,
Alice in
Wonderland [Am]is ca[Dsus4]lling[D]
I [G]look up at the clock, it's not as [Em]delayed as I thought,
it's only [D]quarter to [G]one[D]
[G]Hey, the[Gm] downloa[G]d's finished,
I [Em]can take five minutes of hav[D]ing me some [Dsus4]fun[G]
[Em]The invitation's from
a web location in
Hong
[D]Kong
It's [Em]already started,
this virtual party runs [F]all night long
I said [Csus4]all night[C][Dm]
[D]Who[G]a, whoa, who[Em]a
[D]Don't in[G]vite us [D]to a
virtual party tonight
[G]Yeah, that's what [Em]it says
[D]You're in[G]vited [D]to a [G]virtual party
[D]tonig[Eb]ht[F][Am][D]
There's com[G]puters in the microwave
Com[Em]puters in the automobile
Com[D]puters in the phone
Yeah, [G]even my wife used to tell [Em]me
To get a life
He's got a com[D]puter of his [G]own
I [Em]spend so much time saving time
I can't find [D]any time to spend
I'd take [Em]13 episodes of
Star
Trek
But when am I gonna [F]show [D]them?
It's [G]unbelievable
Must be [Em]60, 70 people here at the [D]party site
I do vir[G]tual parties
[D]Icon[G] s and avatars an
[Em]d images of movie stars
[D]Surfing to[G]night[Dsus4][D]
[G]Whe[D]n I'm[G] loo[Em]king for a chat when I get a note
that says you [D]want to go to a [Em]place more private
and kind of think you like it, I [C]say,
I don't [Dsus4]know.
She says her [G]name is
Mata
Hari and that [Em]she's particularly
fond of [D]older men.
Well, maybe [G]so, maybe not.
Maybe [Em]she's a guy that's
got this [D]urge to pretend.
[Gm]And then it occurs to me,
I don't need this fantasy
[Am]But after all,
[D]eve[Gm]rything I've been looking for
I got and even [Am]more,
sleeping at the end of the [D]hall[Dsus4]
[D]I s[G]hut down the box till
it's [Em]three [C]o 'clock
[Em]By the t[D]ime I get to b[G]ed
[D]I lif[G]t up the cover,
snuggle nex[Em]t to my lover
Find a [D]note there in[G]stead
[D]Sin[G]ce the book w[Em]as done,
I logged on, I found a message from
[D]Hong
Kong
For this vir[Em]tual party,
I think I might go as
Mata
Hari, and maybe [C]all [Csus4]night long
I said, all [Cm]night [F]long[D][G]
Oh, [Em]oh, oh, oh
[D]You're invited [D]to a
virtual party [G]tonight
Ready or not,
[Em]I'm livin' in the 21st century
[D]Gonna [G]find two[D] birds, one[G] pot[D] tonight
[G]And[Em] now I gotta figure out[D] ex
actly how [D]to handle this [G]thing
Do I get back on [Em]line?[G]
[Em]An d[D] get to the chapter?
And pre[G]tend maybe that I
knew that she [D]was [G]roachy
[D]It doesn't beat all [G]along, except how could I know unless [Em]I read the notes,
or I could pretend that I [D]saw the notes back on the screen.
[D]I wonder if s[G]he'll buy that.
She might buy [Em]that.
Yeah, [D]of course.[G]
Especially if she's still online.
[Em]Besides, if she's online,
why is she still online?
Who's she talking [G]to?
