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 G
Take a look at the clock
G G
Only so long to go
G G
Scrubbing smooth young skin
G G
Saying I don't know
G G
Grab a bag, grab a bottle but leave the what if;
G G
You'll see it in the morning after your tricks.
C C Am Am G G
Mmmmmmmm
C C Am Am G G
Mmmmmmmm

[Verse 2]
G G
All you will need for a rocking good time
G G
Is a bunch of people who don't give a damn
G G
There's a yes, in your head, gotta find where it's at!
G G
You'll lose it in the morning but ignore that.

C C Am Am G G
Mmmmmmmmm
C C Am Am G G
Mmmmmmmmm

[Chorus]
C C
We're not bruised
D D
They're just, party tattoos
G G
And that colourful mess
Em Em
Is just colourful regret
C C
Black lipstick
D D
will never be a sin
G G
We'll regret it when we're old
Em Em C C
with wrinkled up skin regret it when we're old
D D
with wrinkled up
C C Am Am G G
Skinnnn
C C Am Am G G
Mmmm

[Verse 3]
G G
My mummy said to always wear a coat
G G
But it's warm and it's heavy and we're trying to float
G G
Don't forget, she'll be right when it's 3am,
G G
So shiver, but shiver with a friend.

[Chorus]
C C
We're not bruised
D D
They're just, party tattoos
G G
And that colourful mess
Em Em
Is just colourful regret
C C
Black lipstick
D D
will never be a sin
G G
We'll regret it when we're old
Em Em
with wrinkled up skin
C C
We're not bruised
D D
They're just, party tattoos
G G
And that colourful mess
Em Em
Is just colourful regret
C C
Black lipstick
D D
will never be a sin
G G
We'll regret it when we're old
Em Em C C
with wrinkled up skin regret it when we're old
D D C C
with wrinkled up skin
(C C D D G G Em Em for the "regret it when we're old" canon-ish bit)
C C Am Am G G
Oooh*

[Verse 4]
G G
Write a postcard to you at eighty four
G G
Tell em you'd never dream of living behind a door
G G
Life was fun, full of love, full of hopeful smiles
G G
Bet you wish you were here, but I'll see you in a while

(add a C C at the ends of some of these lines if you want but G G will cover it)

[Chorus]
C C
We're not bruised
D D
They're just, party tattoos
G G
And that colourful mess
Em Em
Is just colourful regret
C C
Black lipstick
D D
will never be a sin
G G
We'll regret it when we're old
Em Em C C
with wrinkled up skin
C C
We're not bruised
D D
They're just, party tattoos
G G
And that colourful mess
Em Em
Is just colourful regret
C C
Black lipstick
D D
will never be a sin
G G
We'll regret it when we're old
Em Em C C
with wrinkled up skin regret it when we're old

with wrinkled up skin

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
