Intro      x2   


And it starts sometime around midnight                   
                                                       
Or at least that’s 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 haven’t seen her for a while


But you know, that she’s watching
                                                            
She’s laughing, she’s turning. She’s 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 there’s 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 you’ve seen a ghost"

Bridge  (strong strumming)  ....    ....   



Then you walk under the streetlights                 
                                                         
And you’re too drunk to notice, that everyone is staring at you
                                                                
You just don’t 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.
