Intro:
F2 Em

Verse:
F2                                Em
She sits up high surrounded by the sun
                                        F2 
One million branches and she loves every one
                                Em
"Mom and dad, did you search for me?
I've been up here so long I'm going crazy"

Chorus:
          F2                      Em     
And as the sun went down we ended up on the ground
            F
I heard the train shake the windows 
             Em
You screamed over the sound
           F2
And as we own this night
                       Em
I put your body to the test with mine
              F
This love was out of control
      Em
3-2-1 where did it go?

Fill:
F2 Em

Verse:
             F2
Now don't be crazy
                               Em
Yes now of course you can stay here.
                                        F2
Been in a touring band for going on ten years.

"Big deal," she said, "I guess you're official"
Em                                             F2
I only said it 'cause I know what it's like to feel

Burned out
               Em
It gets you down,
                          F2
We've all been there sometimes
                                  Em
But tonight I'll make you feel beautiful once again

Chorus:
          F2                      Em     
And as the sun went down we ended up on the ground
            F
I heard the train shake the windows 
             Em
You screamed over the sound
           F2
And as we own this night
                       Em
I put your body to the test with mine
              F
This love was out of control
      Em
3-2-1 where did it go?


Interlude:
C/G E F C

Bridge:
C/G                          E
If I were you, I'd put that away
                   F
See, you're just wasted

And thinking about the past again
                C
Darling you'll be okay

And she said,

(Palm mute and slowly build up)
C/G                             E
"If you were me, you'd do the same
                      F
'Cause I can't take anymore
I'll draw the shades and close the door
             C   
Everything's not alright and I would rather..."

Chorus:
          F2                      Em     
And as the sun went down we ended up on the ground
            F
I heard the train shake the windows 
             Em
You screamed over the sound
           F2
And as we own this night
                       Em
I put your body to the test with mine
              F
This love was out of control
      Em
Tell me where did it go?
