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


*Been on this site for a long time and this is my first time tabbing here.
woohooo! Anyhow, this is a beautiful song I tabbed from watching one of
their acoustic concerts in youtube. The "violin" part is optional, it's not
even close to the real thing, but you can definitely add your own flair to
it (or omit entirely). Enjoy.
