[Verse 1]
[Am]She'[F]s cu[G]tting[Am]
out [G]the [F]bruises
[Am]Forgetting her excuses for
being here [G]again[F]
[G]With a s[C]uitcas[F]e packed and
[C]wait[G]ing by the [Am]door
In [G]her [F]head
Con[Am]vinced herself [Dm]she [Am]hasn't lost
Enough [G]to quit
[C]But ton[F]ight

[Verse 2]
she lays here [C]thinking
[Em]What [F]if I just [G]left
In the middle of the [F]night
Back to [G]California
And never [C]look [Am]back

[Verse 3]
She'll fantas[F]ize about [C]it
Every single [G]day but she can't [F]find it
In her [G]heart to run [Am]away
And [C]no one's [Am]listening
With Northern [F]Massachusetts
[C]On his knees to [G]stay
He's begging
[F]Please, oh baby ple[G]ase, I can expla[Am]in
It won't hap[G]pen [Am]again
[G][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 4]
He's putting out [G]the fires[F]
[G]And he'[F]s making her believe
[C]He'[G]s really cha[Am]nged
[G]This [F]time
But [Am]it's obvious it's just another line
Lapse [G]and [F]relapse
[C]And aga[F]in

[Verse 5]
she lays
[C]behind him [Em]thinking
[F]I'll preten[G]d in the middle of the nig[F]ht
My eyes are closed I'm [G]sleeping
But I won't [C]come [Am]back

[Verse 6]
She'll fantas[F]ize about [C]it
Every single [G]day but she can't [F]find it
In her [G]heart to run [Am]away
And [C]no one's [Am]listening
With Northern Mas[F]sachusetts
[C]On his knees to [G]stay
He's begging
[F]Please, oh baby [G]please, I can ex[Am]plain
It won't happen again
It won't hap[F]pen again
[Am][F][G#5][F][Am]

[Verse 7]
How long can this last?
The final straw was the hospit[F]al
[Am]At least she told herself that
But [F]she just can't find
the [G#5]strength to end it
[F]I

[Verse 8]
[G]just left
In the middle of the [F]night
Back to Cali[G]fornia
I'll nev[Em]er look ba[Am]ck

[Verse 9]
She'll fantas[F]ize about [C]it
Every single [G]day but she can't [F]find it
In [G]her heart to run [Am]away
[C](to run [Am]away)
With Northern Mas[F]sachusetts
[C]On his knees to [G]stay
He's begging
[F]Please, oh baby [G]please, I can ex[Am]plain
It won't happen again

[Outro 1]
It won't happen again
[Am][F][F][Am]
