Massachusetts

[Intro]
C#m F#m/A E5/B
B                 C#5
 She's cutting out   the bruises

[Verse 1]
Forgetting her excuses
For being here again
       Asus2               Esus2   B/D#    C#5
With a suitcase packed and waiting by  the door
In her head
Convinced herself she hasn't lost enough to quit
      Asus2               E5
But tonight she lays here thinking
G#m       A5     B5
"What if I  just left

[Pre-Chorus]
                     A5
In the middle of the night
            B5
Back to California
    G#5
And never looked back?"

[Chorus]
C#5            Asus2        Esus2
   She'll fantasize about it
             B5
Every single day
              Asus2
But she can't find it
       B5            C#5
In her heart to run away
E5                    C#5
And no one's listening
              Asus2        Esus2
With Northern Massachusetts
                B5
On his knees to stay
He's begging
Asus2              B5              C#5
"Please, oh, baby, please, I can explain
                      C#5
It won't happen again"

[Break]
                C#5
He's putting out   the fires

[Verse 2]
         Asus2        Esus2
And he's making her believe
     B/D#   C#5
He's really changed this time
But it's obvious it's just another line
Lapse and relapse
     Asus2           E5       G#m
And again she lays beside him thinking

[Pre-Chorus]
     A5   B5
"I'll  pretend
                     A5
In the middle of the night
                        B5
My eyes are closed, I'm sleeping
    G#5
But I  won't come back"

[Chorus]
C#5            Asus2        Esus2
   She'll fantasize about it
             B5
Every single day
              Asus2
But she can't find it
       B5            C#5
In her heart to run away
E5                    C#5
And no one's listening
              Asus2        Esus2
With Northern Massachusetts
                B5
On his knees to stay
He's begging
Asus2              B5              C#5
"Please, oh, baby, please, I can explain
                      C#5
It won't happen again"

[Bridge]
It won't happen again
A5 G#/C C#5
           How long can this last?
The final straw was the hospital
At least she told herself that
        Asus2               G#/C
But she just can't find the strength to end it

[Pre-Chorus]
 A5     B5
I  just left
                     A5
In the middle of the night
            B5
Back to California
     G#5
I'll never look back

[Chorus]
C#5            Asus2        Esus2
   She'll fantasize about it
             B5
Every single day
              Asus2
But she can't find it
       B5            C#5
In her heart to run away
        E5 C#5
To run away
              Asus2        Esus2
With Northern Massachusetts
                B5
On his knees to stay
He's begging
Asus2              B5              C#5
"Please, oh, baby, please, I can explain
                      C#5
It won't happen again"

[Outro]
                     A5 G#/C C#5
It won't happen again
