Tuning: Standard
Intro: G#m-F#-B-F#
G#m
She's cutting out the bruises,
E F# G#m
Forgetting her excuses for being here again
E B F# G#m
with a suitcase packed and waiting by the door.
E F# G#m
In her head, convinced herself she hasn't lost enough to quit.
E B
But tonight she lays here thinking,
F# E B F#
What if I just left
G#m F# E
In the middle of the night
B F#
Back to California
G#m-F#
And never look back?
Chorus:
G#m E
She'll fantasize about it
B F# E
every single day but she can't find it
F# G#m
in her heart to run away,
B
and no one's listening.
G#m E
With Northern Massachusetts,
B F#
on his knees to stay, he's begging,
E F# G#m
Please, oh baby please, I can explain.
E-F#
It won't happen again.
G#m
He's putting out the fires
E B
and he's making her believe
F# G#m
he's really changed this time;
E F# G#m
But it's obvious it's just another lie, lapse and relapse.
E B F#
And again she lays beside him thinking,
E B--F# G#m F# E
I'll pretend in the middle of the night,
B F#
my eyes are closed, I'm sleeping,
G#m F#
But I won't come back.
Chorus:
G#m E
She'll fantasize about it
B F# E
every single day but she can't find it
F# G#m
in her heart to run away,
B
And no one's listening.
G#m E
With Northern Massachusetts,
B F#
On his knees to stay, he's begging,
E F# G#m
Please, oh baby please, I can explain.
G#m-F#-E-F#
It won't happen again... It won't happen again
G#m-F#-E-F#
Bridge:
G#m
How long can this last?
Gm
The final straw was the hospital.
E
At least she told herself that.
F#
But she just can't find the strength to end it.
E B F# G#m F# E
I just left in the middle of the night,
B F#
Back to California,
G#m-F#
And never look back.
Chorus:
G#m E
She'll fantasize about it
B F# E
every single day but she can't find it
F# G#m
in her heart to run away,
B
And no one's listening.
G#m E
With Northern Massachusetts,
B F#
On his knees to stay, he's begging,
E F# G#m
Please, oh baby please, I can explain.
B
It won't happen again
G#m E
She'll fantasize about it
B F# E
every single day but she can't find it
F# G#m
in her heart to run away, (to run away...)
B
And no one's listening.
G#m E
With Northern Massachusetts,
B F# (ON his knees to stay...)
On his knees to stay, he's begging,
E F# G#m
Please, oh baby please, I can explain.
G#m
It won't happen again
