Intro G G x2 Em Em C C G G

G G
And it starts sometime around midnight
Em Em C C G G
Or at least that's when you lose yourself for a minute or two
G G
As you stand under the bar lights
Em Em C C G G
While the band plays some song, about forgetting yourself for a while
Em Em C C G G
And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack for her smile
Em Em Pause!!! C C
That white dress she's wearing, you haven't seen her for a while

G G
But you know, that she's watching
Em Em C C G G
She's laughing, she's turning. She's holding her tonic like a cross
Em Em C C G G
The room's suddenly spinning, as she walks up and asks how you are
Em Em C C G G
So you can smell her perfume, you can see her lying naked in your arms

G G
And so there's a change in your emotions
Em Em C C G G
When all these memories come rushing, like feral waves to your mind
Em Em C C G G
Of curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined
Em Em C C G G
So you feel hopeless and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine


G G
Then she leaves with some one you don't know
Em Em C C G G
But she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and bolts
Em Em C C G G
As she walks out the door, your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes
Em Em Pause!!! C C
Oh and when your friends say, "what is it you look like you've seen a ghost"

Bridge (strong strumming) G G .... C C D D Em Em .... C C D D G G


G G
Then you walk under the streetlights
Em Em C C G G
And you're too drunk to notice, that everyone is staring at you
Em Em C C G G
You just don't care what you look like, the world is falling around you

Em Em
you just have to see her
C C
you just have to see her
Em Em
you just have to see her
C C
you just have to see her
Em Em
you just have to see her

you know that she'll break you in two.... G G Em Em C C
