The Airborne Toxic Event – Sometime Around Midnight (Album: The Airborne Toxic Event) (2008)
(CAPO 3)
C
And it starts sometime around midnight
Am F C
Or at least that’s when you lose yourself for a minute or two
C
As you stand under the bar lights
Am F C
The band plays some song, about forgetting yourself for a while
And the piano’s this melancholy soundtrack for her smile
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, she walks up and asks how you are
You can smell her perfume, you can see her lying naked in your arms
And so there’s a change, in your emotions
All these memories come rushing, like feral waves in your mind
The curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined
You feel hopeless and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine
Then she leaves with someone you don’t know
But she makes sure you saw her, she look right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door, your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes
Oh and when your friends say, “what is it you look like you’ve seen a ghost”
Bridge: [F, G, Am*, F, G, C]
C
Then you walk under the streetlights
Am F C
And you’re too drunk to notice, that everyone is staring at you
Am F C
You just don’t care what you look like, the worlds falling around you
Am F
You just have to see her You just have to see her
C Am
You just have to see her You just have to see her
F C
You just have to see her You know that she’ll break you in two….
