Intro: G*   G*   Em   C   G*


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


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


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


          G*                       G*
Then she leaves, with someone you don’t know.
         Em                          C                      G*
But she makes sure you saw her. She looks right at you and bolts.
        Em                             C                        G*
As she walks out the door, your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes.
                  Em                            C                       G       G
Oh and when your friends say, “What is it? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”


Bridge: C   D   Em   Em   C   D   G   G   G   G


          G*               G*
Then you walk, under the streetlights.
            Em                        C                    G*
And you’re too drunk to notice, that everyone is staring at you.
            Em                        C                    G*            G*
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.
    G
You just have to see her.
    Em
You just have to see her.
    C
You just have to see her.
     C                                 G         G
You know that she’ll break you in two.
