I've just written a simplified version that can be ad-libbed and interpretted to the musician's view
(pretentious I know sorry)
[Verse 1]
G
Take a look at the clock
G
Only so long to go
G
Scrubbing smooth young skin
G
Saying I don't know
G
Grab a bag, grab a bottle but leave the what if;
G
You'll see it in the morning after your tricks.
C Am G
Mmmmmmmm
C Am G
Mmmmmmmm
[Verse 2]
G
All you will need for a rocking good time
G
Is a bunch of people who don't give a damn
G
There's a yes, in your head, gotta find where it's at!
G
You'll lose it in the morning but ignore that.
C Am G
Mmmmmmmmm
C Am G
Mmmmmmmmm
[Chorus]
C
We're not bruised
D
They're just, party tattoos
G
And that colourful mess
Em
Is just colourful regret
C
Black lipstick
D
will never be a sin
G
We'll regret it when we're old
Em C
with wrinkled up skin regret it when we're old
D
with wrinkled up
C Am G
Skinnnn
C Am G
Mmmm
[Verse 3]
G
My mummy said to always wear a coat
G
But it's warm and it's heavy and we're trying to float
G
Don't forget, she'll be right when it's 3am,
G
So shiver, but shiver with a friend.
[Chorus]
C
We're not bruised
D
They're just, party tattoos

And that colourful mess
Em
Is just colourful regret
C
Black lipstick
D
will never be a sin

We'll regret it when we're old

We're not bruised

They're just, party tattoos

[Verse 4]
G
Write a postcard to you at eighty four
G
Tell em you'd never dream of living behind a door
G
Life was fun, full of love, full of hopeful smiles
G
Bet you wish you were here, but I'll see you in a while
(add a C at the ends of some of these lines if you want but G will cover it)

I like to use E7 instead of Em. It's easier to switch and sounds a little better to me.

Pluck all the strings in a row, then pluck the bottom 3(G, C, E, or D, G, B, ) then repeat, and in the chorus do single down strums/ pluck all four strings
dodie plays it on her baritone, but it works on both
