The Airborne Toxic Event – Sometime Around Mid Night (Guitar)

G6
And it starts sometime around midnight

            Em                       C                    G6
Or at least that's when you lose yourself for a minute or two

G6
As you stand under the bar lights

        Em
And the band plays some song

          C                     G6
About forgetting yourself for a while

        Em                       C                G6
And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack to her smile

         Em                C
And that white dress she's wearing

G6
But you know that she's watching

       Em
She's laughing, she's turning

       C                        G6
She's holding her tonic like a cross

            Em
The room's suddenly spinning

     C                         G6
She walks up and asks how you are

           Em
So you can smell her perfume

        C                           G6
You can see her lying naked in your arms

 G6
And so there's a change in your emotions

              Em
And all these memories come rushing

      C                  G6
Like feral waves to your mind

       Em                       C                     G6
Of the curl of your bodies like two perfect circles entwined

             Em
And you feel hopeless and homeless

     C                      G6
And lost in the haze of the wine

 G6
Then she leaves with someone you don't know

         Em
But she makes sure you saw her

     C                        G6
She looks right at you and bolts

        Em
As she walks out the door

           C                          G6
Your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes

             Em           C
Oh, and your friends say "What is it?

G6
Then you walk under the streetlights

           Em                         C                    G6
And you're too drunk to notice that everyone's staring at you

               Em
You just don't care what you look like

     C                      G6
The world is falling around you

Em
You just have to see her

C
You just have to see her

Em
You just have to see her

C
You just have to see her

Em
You just have to see her
