Verse 1:
A
Can't get no rest
Bm7/A
Don't know how I work all day
Amaj7
When will I learn?
Bm7/A
Memories get in the way
Dmaj7 C#m7
I walk around
C#m7/F# F#
I can't hear a sound, folks talkin' loud, but I
Dmaj7 C#m7
Don't see at all
C#m7/F# F#
I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don't
Emaj7 D#m7
Know where to go
Dmaj7 C#m7
It's hopeless so
Cmaj7 Bm7 Bm7/E E7
I guess I'll leave it alone well I
Verse 2:
Spent all my day
Fixin' up to go somewhere
Thought I was late
And I found she wasn't there
I guess I'll find
The love, peace of mind, some other time, but I
Still have today
I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don't
Know where to go
It's hopeless so
Cmaj7 Am7/D
I guess I'll leave it alone
Chorus:
Gmaj7 Bm7
Games people play
Am7 D7
Night or day they're just not matchin'
Gmaj7 Bm7
What they should do
Am7/D
Keeps me feelin' blue
Gmaj7 Bm7
Been down too long
Am7 D7
Right, wrong, they just can't stop it
Gmaj7 Bm7
Spendin' all day
[1: Bm7/E E7 Bm7/E E7]
[2: Am7/D]
Thinking just of you
Verse 3:
Twelve forty-five
Headed for the subway home
I took my time
'Cause I felt so all alone
Not far away
I heard a funny sound, took a look around, and I
Could see her face
Smile as she came, callin' out my name, so I
Know where to go
We'll take it slow
Cmaj7 Am7/D
Guess I'll call it a day
[repeat chorus; fade 2nd time]
