INTRO:
Am, D, G11, Gmaj
VERSE:
She's cutting [Am]out the bruises
[F]Forgetting her [Gmaj]excuses for being[Am] here again
With a s[F]uitcase packed and [C]waiting[Gmaj] by the d[Am]oor
In her head
C[F]onvinced herself she h[Gmaj]asn't lost
[Am]Enough to quit
But t[F]onight she lays here [Am]thinking
PRE-CHORUS:
[Gmaj]What if [F]I just left
[G11]In the m[Gmaj]iddle [Em]of th[F]e night
[Gmaj]Back to C[Gmaj]alifornia
G11 (Just bottom 3 strings)
And never look back
CHORUS:
[Am]She'll fantas[F]ize about it
[Gmaj]Every single [G]day but she can't[F] find it
In her h[G]eart to run a[Am]way
And [C]no one's listening
[Am]With Northern [F]Massachusetts
[C]On his knees to [G]stay
He's begging
[F]"Please, oh baby p[G]lease, I can ex[Am]plain
It won't happen aga[F]aaaaa[G]in"
VERSE:
He's putting [Am]out the fires
And he's ma[F]king her b[C]elieve
[Gmaj]He's really c[Am]hanged
This time
But it's ob[F]vious it's[Gmaj] just another [Am]line
Lapse and relapse
And agai[F]n she lays beside [C]him t[Gmaj]hinking:
PRE-CHORUS:
[F]I'll pre[Gmaj]tend in the m[G11]iddle[Gmaj] of t[Em]he [F]night
[Gmaj]My eyes are closed I'm s[Gmaj]leeping
G11 (Just bottom 3 strings)
But I won't come back
CHORUS:
[Am]She'll fantas[F]ize about it
[Gmaj]Every single d[G]ay but she can't find it[F]
In her h[G]eart to run away[Am]
And n[C]o one's listening
[Am]With Northern M[F]assachusetts
[C]On his knees to s[G]tay
He's begging
[F]"Please, oh baby [G]please, I can exp[Am]lain
It won't happen agaa[Am]aaaain[Gmaj]
It won't happen agai[F]n[Gmaj]
BRIDGE:
[Am] How long can this last?
[G#m#5] The final straw was the hospital
[F] At least she told herself that
[Gmaj]But she just can't find the strength to end it!
PRE-CHORUS:
[F]I just [Gmaj]left
[G11]In the mi[Gmaj]ddle o[Em]f the[F] night
[Gmaj]Back to C[Gmaj]alifornia
G11 (Just bottom 3 strings)
I'll never look back
FINAL CHORUS:
[Am]She'll fantas[F]ize about it
[Gmaj]Every single d[G]ay but she can't find it[F]
In her h[G]eart to run aw[Am]ay
And n[C]o one's listening
[Am]With Northern M[F]assachusetts
[C]On his knees to s[G]tay
He's begging
[F]"Please, oh baby [G]please, I can exp[Am]lain
C Am (SOLO)
It won't happen agaaain
[Am]She'll fantas[F]ize about it
[Gmaj]Every single [G]day but she can't [F]find it
In her h[G]eart to run aw[Am]ay
And n[C]o one's listening
