G6 Em C G6
[Verse 1]
G6
And it starts sometime around midnight
Em C G6
Or at least that's when you lose yourself for a minute or two
[Verse 2]
G6
As you stand under the bar lights
Em
And the band plays some song
C G6
About forgetting yourself for a while
Em C G6
And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack to her smile
Em C
And that white dress she's wearing
N.C.
You haven't seen her for a while
[Verse 3]
G6
But you know that she's watching
Em
She's laughing, she's turning
C G6
She's holding her tonic like a cross
Em
The room's suddenly spinning
C G6
She walks up and asks how you are
Em
So you can smell her perfume
C G6
You can see her lying naked in your arms
[Verse 4]
G6
And so there's a change in your emotions
Em
And all these memories come rushing
C G6
Like feral waves to your mind
Em C G6
Of the curl of your bodies like two perfect circles entwined
Em
And you feel hopeless and homeless
C G6
And lost in the haze of the wine
[Verse 5]
G6
Then she leaves with someone you don't know
Em
But she makes sure you saw her
C G6
She looks right at you and bolts
Em
As she walks out the door
C G6
Your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes
Em C
Oh, and your friends say "What is it?
N.C.
You look like you've seen a ghost"
[Bridge]

C D Em
C D G6
[Verse 6]
G6
Then you walk under the streetlights
Em C G6
And you're too drunk to notice that everyone's staring at you
Em
You just don't care what you look like
C G6
The world is falling around you
Em
You just have to see her
C
You just have to see her
Em
You just have to see her
C
You just have to see her
Em
You just have to see her
