Verse 1

Band packed up and the lights came on
Parking lot buzzin' but nobody gone
Girl looked over with that "what's next?" grin
Like the night was just pullin' us in
Phones light up, somebody drops a pin
Half the town askin' where we're headed in
One door closed, but the night stayed young
And we weren't done

Pre-Chorus

Ain't about where, ain't about why
Just don't let this feeling die

Chorus

After party
When the real night starts
When the songs fade out but the beat lives on
And the world feels ours
After party
Windows down, stars above
Chasin' that feelin' that ain't worn off
Like we're right where we belong
Yeah, after party

Verse 2

Kitchen lights and a back porch crowd
Music up just enough, not loud
Laughin' hard at nothin' much
But nights like this mean everything to us
She leaned in close like time slowed down
Whole world small in that little town
Funny how the best part starts
After the dark

Pre-Chorus

Ain't about where, ain't about why
Just don't let this feeling die

Chorus

After party
When the real night starts
When the songs fade out but the beat lives on
And the world feels ours
After party
Windows down, stars above
Chasin' that feelin' that ain't worn off
Like we're right where we belong
Yeah, after party

Bridge

No plan, no map, no need to know
Just keep drivin' where the good wind blows
Some nights end, but not tonight
We're still ridin' that high

Final Chorus

After party
When the real night starts
When the songs fade out but the beat lives on
And the world feels ours
After party
Windows down, stars above
Holdin' onto that midnight rush
Like we're right where we belong
Yeah, after party

Generated from the chord chart. These are real guitar shapes for the chords we detected, not a transcription of what was played on the record.
Raw note map (experimental)

This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
