Intro     G6 x2 Em C G6 

G6 
And it starts sometime around midnight                   
       Em                            C                    G6 
Or at least that's when you lose yourself for a minute or two
G6 
As you stand under the bar lights
           Em                             C                     G6 
While the band plays some song, about forgetting yourself for a while
          Em                         C              G6 
And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack for her smile
      Em            Pause!!!          C                            
That white dress she's wearing, you haven't seen her for a while

G6 
But you know, that she's watching
        Em                             C                       G6 
She's laughing, she's turning. She's holding her tonic like a cross
     Em                               C                        G6 
The room's suddenly spinning, as she walks up and asks how you are
            Em                         C                         G6 
So you can smell her perfume, you can see her lying naked in your arms

G6 
And so there's a change in your emotions
               Em                      C                      G6 
When all these memories come rushing, like feral waves to your mind
          Em                      C                     G6 
Of curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined
             Em                         C                      G6 
So you feel hopeless and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine


G6 
Then she leaves with some one you don't know
        Em                           C                       G6 
But she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and bolts
        Em                             C                        G6 
As she walks out the door, your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes
       Em               Pause!!!               C           
Oh and when your friends say, "what is it you look like you've seen a ghost"

Bridge  (strong strumming) G6 .... C D Em .... C D G6 


G6 
Then you walk under the streetlights                 
           Em                         C                     G6 
And you're too drunk to notice, that everyone is staring at you
                Em                          C                      G6 
You just don't care what you look like, the world is falling around you

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

you know that she'll break you in two....  G6  Em  C
