Intro: C#m-E-B-B/Eb-


Verse 1:
      B/Eb   C#m      B
She's cutting out the bruises
   C#m           E
Forgetting her excuses 
    B/Eb  C#m   B
for being here again
       A
With a suitcase packed 
    E       B/Eb
and waiting by 
    C#m         B
the door In her head
   C#m
Convinced herself 
    E      B/Eb
she hasn't lost
 C#m      B
Enough to quit
      A
But tonight she lays
     E
here thinking
E/G#    A      B
What if I just left
                 E/G#
In the middle of the
A                 B
night Back to California
    E/G#(hold)
And never look back


Chorus 1:
C#m            A
   She'll fantasize about it
E            B
Every single day but she can't
A              B
find it In her heart to run
 C#m     E
away And no one's listening
C#m              A
   With Northern Massachusetts
E                B
On his knees to stay He's
         A
begging "Please oh baby
B              C#m
please I can explain
   C#                 C#m--C#m--E
It won't happen again"


Verse 2:
B    B/Eb    C#m     B
He's putting out the fires
         A            E
And he's making her believe
     B/Eb   C#m
He's really changed
     B             C#m
This time But it's obvious 
     E     B/Eb   C#m
it's just another lie
          B
Lapse and relapse
     A
And again she lays 
  E        E/G#
beside him thinking
A       B
I'll pretend in the 
          E/G# A
middle of the  night
My eyes are closed I'm 
 B           E/G#(hold)
sleeping But I won't come back


Chorus 2:
C#m            A
   She'll fantasize about it
E            B
Every single day but she can't
A              B
find it In her heart to run
 C#m     E
away And no one's listening
C#m              A
   With Northern Massachusetts
E                B
On his knees to stay He's
         A
begging "Please oh baby
B              C#m
please I can explain
   C#            C#m C#m
It won't happen again"
                G#/C C#m A-C--
It won't happen a----gain"


Bridge:
C#m
   How long can this last?
C#m
   The final straw was the 
     G#/C C#m
hospital     At least she told 
                     A
herself that But she just can't
          G#/C
find the strength to end it!


Verse 3: Silence
A      B
I just left
                 E/G#
In the middle of the
A                 B
night Back to California
    E/G#(Distoriton)
And never look back


Chorus 3:
C#m            A
   She'll fantasize about it
E            B
Every single day but she can't
A              B
find it In her heart to run
 C#m     E
away And no one's listening
C#m              A
   With Northern Massachusetts
E                B
On his knees to stay He's
         A
begging "Please oh baby
B              C#m
please I can explain
   C#            C#m C#m
It won't happen again"
                G#/C C#m A-C--C#m(hold)
