Capo 5th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro x2
And it starts sometime around midnight
Or at least thats when you lose yourself for a minute or two
As you stand under the bar lights
While the band plays some song, about forgetting yourself for a while
And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack for her smile
Pause!!!
That white dress she's wearing, you havent seen her for a while
But you know, that shes watching
Shes laughing, shes turning. Shes holding her tonic like a cross
The room's suddenly spinning, as she walks up and asks how you are
So you can smell her perfume, you can see her lying naked in your arms
And so theres a change in your emotions
When all these memories come rushing, like feral waves to your mind
Of curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined
So you feel hopeless and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine
Then she leaves with some one you don't know
But she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door, your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes
Pause!!!
Oh and when your friends say, "what is it you look like youve seen a ghost"
Bridge
strong strumming) .... ....
Then you walk under the streetlights
And youre too drunk to notice, that everyone is staring at you
You just dont care what you look like, the world is falling around you
you just have to see her
you just have to see her
you just have to see her
you just have to see her
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
their acoustic concerts in youtube. The "violin" part is optional, it's not
even close to the real thing, but you can definitely add your own flair to
it (or omit entirely). Enjoy.
