Intro G chordG x2 Em chordEm C chordC G chordG

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

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

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


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

Bridge (strong strumming) G chordG .... C chordC D chordD Em chordEm .... C chordC D chordD G chordG


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

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

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