Intro     C6 x2 Am F C6

C6
And it starts sometime around midnight                   
       Am                            F                    C6
Or at least that's when you lose yourself for a minute or two
C6
As you stand under the bar lights
           Am                             F                     C6
While the band plays some song, about forgetting yourself for a while
          Am                         F              C6
And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack for her smile
      Am            Pause!!!          F                            
That white dress she's wearing, you haven't seen her for a while

C6
But you know, that she's watching
        Am                             F                       C6
She's laughing, she's turning. She's holding her tonic like a cross
     Am                               F                        C6
The room's suddenly spinning, as she walks up and asks how you are
            Am                         F                         C6
So you can smell her perfume, you can see her lying naked in your arms

C6
And so there's a change in your emotions
               Am                      F                      C6
When all these memories come rushing, like feral waves to your mind
          Am                      F                     C6
Of curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined
             Am                         F                      C6
So you feel hopeless and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine


C6
Then she leaves with some one you don't know
        Am                           F                       C6
But she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and bolts
        Am                             F                        C6
As she walks out the door, your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes
       Am               Pause!!!               F           
Oh and when your friends say, "what is it you look like you've seen a ghost"

Bridge  (strong strumming) C6 .... F G Am .... F G C6


C6
Then you walk under the streetlights                 
           Am                         F                     C6
And you're too drunk to notice, that everyone is staring at you
                Am                          F                      C6
You just don't care what you look like, the world is falling around you

Am
you just have to see her
F
you just have to see her
Am 
you just have to see her
F
you just have to see her
Am
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.
