Intro G6 x2 Em C G6

[G6]And it starts sometime around midnight
Or at l[Em]east that's when you lose yo[C]urself for a minute o[G6]r two
[G6]As you stand under the bar lights
While the b[Em]and plays some song, about forg[C]etting yourself for a [G6]while
And the pi[Em]ano's this melancholy sound[C]track for her s[G6]mile
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
She's [Em]laughing, she's turning. She[C]'s holding her tonic li[G6]ke a cross
The r[Em]oom's suddenly spinning, as she w[C]alks up and asks how you [G6]are
So you can s[Em]mell her perfume, you can s[C]ee her lying naked in your[G6] arms

[G6]And so there's a change in your emotions
When all these [Em]memories come rushing, l[C]ike feral waves to your[G6] mind
Of curl of[Em] your bodies, like two p[C]erfect circles entwine[G6]d
So you feel h[Em]opeless and homeless, and l[C]ost in the haze of the [G6]wine

[G6]Then she leaves with some one you don't know
But she [Em]makes sure you saw her, she l[C]ooks right at you and bo[G6]lts
As she w[Em]alks out the door, your blood b[C]oiling, your stomach in r[G6]opes
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
And you'r[Em]e too drunk to notice, that[C] everyone is staring a[G6]t you
You just don't[Em] care what you look like, th[C]e world is falling arou[G6]nd 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
even close to the real thing, but you can definitely add your own flair to
it (or omit entirely). Enjoy.
