Silverstein - Massachusetts (Acoustic) This is How the Wind Shifts (Deluxe Edition) [Intro] Am G C G [Verse 1]
              Am      Asus2
She's cutting out the bruises,

   F             G               Am    Asus2
Forgetting her excuses for being here again

       F                   C       G      Am
with a suitcase packed and waiting by the door.

       Asus2    F                  G            Am       Asus2
In her head, convinced herself she hasn't lost enough to quit.

      F                   C
But tonight she lays here thinking,

 G       F C    G
"What if I just left

       Am     G      F
In the middle of the night

C           G
Back to California

    Am G
And never look back?"
[Chorus]
Am            F
  She'll fantasize about it

C            G                 F
every single day but she can't find it

       G             Am
in her heart to run away,

    C
and no one's listening.

Am              F
  With Northern Massachusetts,

C                G
on his knees to stay, he's begging,

 F               G               Am
"Please, oh baby please, I can explain.

                 F G
It won't happen again."
[Verse 2]
             Am      Asus2
He's putting out the fires

         F            C
and he's making her believe

     G      Am           Asus2
he's really changed this time;

         F            G              Am           Asus2
But it's obvious it's just another lie, lapse and relapse.

     F               C        G
And again she lays beside him thinking,

 F    C  G           Am     G      F
"I'll pretend in the middle of the night,

   C                     G
my eyes are closed, I'm sleeping,

Am               G
But I won't come back."
[Chorus]
Am            F
  She'll fantasize about it

C            G                 F
every single day but she can't find it

       G             Am
in her heart to run away,

    C
And no one's listening.

Am              F
  With Northern Massachusetts,

C                G
On his knees to stay, he's begging,

 F               G               Am
"Please, oh baby please, I can explain.

                 Ad lib: Am G F G
It won't happen again... It won't happen again"
[Bridge]
Am
  How long can this last?

G#m
  The final straw was the hospital.

F
  At least she told herself that.

          G
But she just can't find the strength to end it.

 F C    G           Am     G      F
"I just left in the middle of the night,

C           G
Back to California,

    Am G
I'll never come back..."
[Chorus]
Am            F
  She'll fantasize about it

C            G                 F
every single day but she can't find it

       G             Am
in her heart to run away,

    C
And no one's listening.

Am              F
  With Northern Massachusetts,

C                G
On his knees to stay, he's begging,

 F               G               Am
"Please, oh baby please, I can explain.

   C
It won't happen again"
[Outro]
Am            F
  She'll fantasize about it

C            G                 F
every single day but she can't find it

       G             Am
in her heart to run away, (to run away...)

    C
And no one's listening.

Am              F
  With Northern Massachusetts,

C                G
On his knees to stay, he's begging,

 F               G               Am
"Please, oh baby please, I can explain.

                 Am
It won't happen again"
