Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 3 half steps down [ -3 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 3 to stay in the same key

Intro: Ab  Gm

Verse:
Ab                                 Gm
She sits up high surrounded by the sun
                                        Ab  
One million branches and she loves every one
                                Gm
"Mom and dad, did you search for me?

I've been up here so long I'm going crazy"

Chorus:
          Ab                       Gm     
And as the sun went down we ended up on the ground
            Ab
I heard the train shake the windows 
             Gm
You screamed over the sound
           Ab 
And as we own this night
                       Gm
I put your body to the test with mine
              Ab
This love was out of control
      Gm
3-2-1 where did it go?

Interlude: Ab  Gm

Verse:
             Ab 
Now don't be crazy
                               Gm
Yes now of course you can stay here.
                                        Ab 
Been in a touring band for going on ten years.

"Big deal," she said, "I guess you're official"
Gm                                             Ab 
I only said it 'cause I know what it's like to feel

Burned out
               Gm
It gets you down,
                          Ab 
We've all been there sometimes
                                  Gm
But tonight I'll make you feel beautiful once again

Chorus:
          Ab                       Gm     
And as the sun went down we ended up on the ground
            Ab
I heard the train shake the windows 
             Gm
You screamed over the sound
           Ab 
And as we own this night
                       Gm
I put your body to the test with mine
              Ab
This love was out of control
      Gm
3-2-1 where did it go?

Interlude: Eb G Ab Eb

Bridge:
Eb                             G
If I were you, I'd put that away
                   Ab
See, you're just wasted

And thinking about the past again
                Eb
Darling you'll be okay

And she said,


Eb                                G
"If you were me, you'd do the same
                      Ab
'Cause I can't take anymore

I'll draw the shades and close the door
             Eb   
Everything's not alright and I would rather..."

Interlude: Eb G Ab Eb

Chorus:
          Ab                       Gm     
And as the sun went down we ended up on the ground
            Ab
I heard the train shake the windows 
             Gm
You screamed over the sound
           Ab 
And as we own this night
                       Gm
I put your body to the test with mine
              Ab
This love was out of control
      Gm
Tell me where did it go?
