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.
