                             Am 
She's cutting out the bruises,
       F                         G                             Am 
Forgetting her excuses for being here again
               F                                     C             G           Am 
with a suitcase packed and waiting by the door.
                                 F                                   G                             Am 
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?"
 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."
                           Am 
He's putting out the fires
                   F                       C 
and he's making her believe
           G           Am 
he's really changed this time 
                   F                       G                           Am 
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."
 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.

"Please, oh baby please, I can explain.
                                         Am  G  F  G 
It won't happen again... It won't happen again"
 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.

"I just left in the middle of the night,
