Not all roads lead to a happy ending despite carefully guided "Maps." Maroon 5 and its frontman Adam Levine had to learn this lesson the hard way in its new music video for "Maps," which premiered on MTV.com today (July 1).

The cinematic clip, which features select dialogue and sound effects over the actual single itself, features the tale of Levine gone astray, an action that has a life changing (and deadly) side effect.

"Maps" begins with a bloody, battered woman in a hospital bed, with Levine rushing desperately through the hospital to get to her, fighting off doctors and nurses on his path.

A series of flashbacks reveal that the woman is, obviously, no other than Levine's beloved. The duo started off the night getting ready for a soiree of sorts, happily picking out outfits for each other and cuddling. However, as the tequila and beer flows at the seedy house party, Levine's eye begins to wander and he finds the comfort in the arms (and lips) of another brunette babe, which his girlfriend sees from across the room.

She leaves the party in a rush, with Levine in tow... but her night has a deadly consequence.

The lesson learned: watch your booze intake, kids, and always remain faithful, or you may get lost despite "Maps."

"Maps" is the lead single from Maroon 5's fifth studio album V. The record will drop on Sept. 2 and is due to be supported by an international tour later this year.
