"Massachusetts (Acoustic)"
This is How the Wind Shifts (Deluxe Edition)
Tuning: Half-step down
Intro: Am-G-C-G
Verse 1:
She's cutting [Am]out the bruises,
For[F]getting her ex[G]cuses for being [Am]here again
with a [F]suitcase packed and [C]waiting [G]by the [Am]door.
In her head, con[F]vinced herself she [G]hasn't lost enou[Am]gh to quit.
But to[F]night she lays here [C]thinking,
"[G]What if [F]I [C]just [G]left
In the [Am]middle [G]of the [F]night
[C]Back to Cali[G]fornia
And [Am-G]never look back?"
Chorus:
[Am] She'll fanta[F]size about it
[C]every single [G]day but she can't [F]find it
in her [G]heart to run a[Am]way,
and [C]no one's listening.
[Am] With Northern [F]Massachusetts,
[C]on his knees to s[G]tay, he's begging,
"[F]Please, oh baby [G]please, I can ex[Am]plain.
It won't happen a[F-G]gain."
Verse 2:
He's putting [Am]out the fires
and he's [F]making her be[C]lieve
he's [G]really [Am]changed this time;
But it's [F]obvious it's [G]just another li[Am]e, lapse and relapse.
And a[F]gain she lays be[C]side him [G]thinking,
"[F]I'll [C--G]pretend in the [Am]middle [G]of the [F]night,
my [C]eyes are closed, I'm s[G]leeping,
[Am]But I won't come [G]back."
Chorus:
[Am] She'll fanta[F]size about it
[C]every single [G]day but she can't [F]find it
in her [G]heart to run a[Am]way,
And [C]no one's listening.
[Am] With Northern [F]Massachusetts,
[C]On his knees to s[G]tay, he's begging,
"[F]Please, oh baby [G]please, I can ex[Am]plain.
Ad lib: Am-G-F-G
It won't happen again... It won't happen again"
Bridge:
[Am] How long can this last?
[G#m] The final straw was the hospital.
[F] At least she told herself that.
But she ju[G]st can't find the strength to end it.
"[F]I [C]just [G]left in the [Am]middle [G]of the [F]night,
[C]Back to Cali[G]fornia,
And [Am-G]never look back..."
Chorus:
[Am] She'll fanta[F]size about it
[C]every single [G]day but she can't [F]find it
in her [G]heart to run a[Am]way,
And [C]no one's listening.
[Am] With Northern [F]Massachusetts,
[C]On his knees to s[G]tay, he's begging,
"[F]Please, oh baby [G]please, I can ex[Am]plain.
It [C]won't happen again"
Chorus 2:
[Am] She'll fanta[F]size about it
[C]every single [G]day but she can't [F]find it
in her [G]heart to run a[Am]way, (to run away...)
And [C]no one's listening.
[Am] With Northern [F]Massachusetts,
C G (ON his knees to stay...)
On his knees to stay, he's begging,
"[F]Please, oh baby [G]please, I can ex[Am]plain.
It won't happen a[Am]gain"
