G6 And it starts sometime around midnight EmCG6 Or at least that’s when you lose yourself for a minute or two G6 As you stand under the bar lights EmCG6 While the band plays some song, about forgetting yourself for a while EmCG6 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 EmCG6 She’s laughing, she’s turning. She’s holding her tonic like a cross EmCG6 The room's suddenly spinning, as she walks up and asks how you are EmCG6 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 EmCG6 When all these memories come rushing, like feral waves to your mind EmCG6 Of curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined EmCG6 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 EmCG6 But she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and bolts EmCG6 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 .... CDEm .... CDG6
G6 Then you walk under the streetlights EmCG6 And you’re too drunk to notice, that everyone is staring at you EmCG6 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.
