Verse 1

She left her books, her car,

 her clothes, and a note

But all she wrote was

"Tonight I'm leaving on a train"

She says she's headed west

 To make it right for one more night

 And, well, I don't blame her if she is

Refrain

 But he thinks it's

just one more sunset

 And after all, it's her fault

 If she hasn't caught on yet

Chorus

 So why'd you have to go?

Is there something I could

say to make you turn around?

 Cause nights like these

 I wish I'd said don't go

 Is there anybody there?

 Can anybody help to

get me out of here?

 Cause you're walking

 down a road that I can't go

(Repeat Last 4 Lines of Verse 1)

(Repeat Refrain)

(Repeat Chorus)

Brdige:

Shout as a martyr

Just can't handle this

 I lost myself inside

a drunken kiss

 And I, all that I wanted

was to walk you home

 Save a sad song for

 the sing-along

Oh my God, I

 I lost myself inside

a drunken kiss

 And I, all that I wanted

was to walk you home

 Save a sad song for

 the sing-along

Verse 2

And she thinks she'll

be my tourniquet

As the record on my stereo

 Plays her favorite song

 for two whole days

 And the drag streched

 out for miles and miles

 And what she'd give

for one more smile

 And how she hoped

he missed her

 Cause, God, she missed

(hold)

how he would kiss her

Chorus 2

 So why'd you have to go?

Is there something I could

say to make you turn around?

 Cause nights like these

 I wish I'd said don't go

 Is there anybody there?

 Can anybody help to

get me out of here?

 Cause you're walking

 down a road that I can't go
