2And it starts sometime around midnight
       Cm6                            G#7                    D#8
3Or at least that’s when you lose yourself for a minute or two
D#9
4As you stand under the bar lights
           Cm10                             G#11                     D#12
5While the band plays some song, about forgetting yourself for a while
          Cm13                         G#14              D#15
6And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack for her smile
      Cm16            - break -           G#17
7That white dress she's wearing, you haven’t seen her for a while

10But you know, that she’s watching
        Cm19                             G#20                       D#21
11She’s laughing, she’s turning. She’s holding her tonic like a cross
     Cm22                               G#23                        D#24
12The room's suddenly spinning, as she walks up and asks how you are
            Cm25                         G#26                         D#27
13So you can smell her perfume, you can see her lying naked in your arms

D#28
16And so there’s a change in your emotions
               Cm29                      G#30                      D#31
17When all these memories come rushing, like feral waves to your mind
          Cm32                      G#33                     D#34
18Of curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined
             Cm35                         G#36                      D#37
19So you feel hopeless and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine

D#38
22Then she leaves with some one you don't know
        Cm39                           G#40                       D#41
23But she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and bolts
        Cm42                             G#43                        D#44
24As she walks out the door, your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes
       Cm45               - break -                G#46
25Oh and when your friends say, "what is it you look like you’ve seen a ghost"

           Cm58                         G#59                     D#60
31And you’re too drunk to notice, that everyone is staring at you
                Cm61                          G#62                      D#63
32You just don’t care what you look like, the world is falling around you
