Sometime Around Midnight – The Airborne Toxic Event

Intro     1 6 4 1

And it starts sometime around midnight                   
       6                            4                    1 
Or at least that’s when you lose yourself for a minute or two 
As you stand under the bar lights
While the band plays some song, about forgetting yourself for a while
          6                        4              1
And the piano's this melancholy soundtrack for her smile
      6            Pause!!!          1                            
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, as she walks up and asks how you are
So you can smell her perfume, you can see her lying naked in your arms

And so there’s a change in your emotions
When all these memories come rushing, like feral waves to your mind
Of curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined
So you feel hopeless and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine

Then she leaves with some one you don't know
But she makes sure you saw her, she looks 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  (strong strumming) 1 .... 4 5 6 .... 4 5 1 

Then you walk under the streetlights                 
And you’re too drunk to notice, that everyone is staring at you
You just don’t care what you look like, the world is falling around you

6
you just have to see her
4 
you just have to see her
6 
you just have to see her
4
you just have to see her
6
you just have to see her
you know that she'll break you in two....  G6  Em  C
