Verse 1:
B/Eb C#m B
She's cutting out the bruises
C#m E
Forgetting her excuses
B/Eb C#m B
for being here again
A
With a suitcase packed
E B/Eb
and waiting by
C#m B
the door In her head
C#m
Convinced herself
E B/Eb
she hasn't lost
C#m B
Enough to quit
A
But tonight she lays
E
here thinking
E/G# A B
What if I just left
E/G#
In the middle of the
A B
night Back to California
E/G#(hold)
And never look back
Chorus 1:
C#m A
She'll fantasize about it
E B
Every single day but she can't
A B
find it In her heart to run
C#m E
away And no one's listening
C#m A
With Northern Massachusetts
E B
On his knees to stay He's
A
begging "Please oh baby
B C#m
please I can explain
C# C#m--C#m--E
It won't happen again"
Verse 2:
B B/Eb C#m B
He's putting out the fires
A E
And he's making her believe
B/Eb C#m
He's really changed
B C#m
This time But it's obvious
E B/Eb C#m
it's just another lie
B
Lapse and relapse
A
And again she lays
E E/G#
beside him thinking
A B
I'll pretend in the
E/G# A
middle of the night
My eyes are closed I'm
B E/G#(hold)
sleeping But I won't come back
Chorus 2:
C#m A
She'll fantasize about it
E B
Every single day but she can't
A B
find it In her heart to run
C#m E
away And no one's listening
C#m A
With Northern Massachusetts
E B
On his knees to stay He's
A
begging "Please oh baby
B C#m
please I can explain
C# C#m C#m
It won't happen again"
G#/C C#m A-C--
It won't happen a----gain"
Bridge:
C#m
How long can this last?
C#m
The final straw was the
G#/C C#m
hospital At least she told
A
herself that But she just can't
G#/C
find the strength to end it!
Verse 3: Silence
A B
I just left
E/G#
In the middle of the
A B
night Back to California
E/G#(Distoriton)
And never look back

E B
Every single day but she can't

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.

"What if I just left
