Verse 1:

       A5
      Can't get no rest
                B5
      Don't know how I work all day
      A5
      When will I learn?
          B5
      Memories get in the way
      D5      C#5
        I walk around
       C#5                                     F#5
      I can't hear a sound, folks talkin' loud, but I
      D5       C#5
      Don't see at all
       C#5                             F#5
      I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don't
      E5        Eb5
      Know where to go
      D5        C#5
      It's hopeless so
                   C5     B5  B5  E5
      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
                   C5     A5
      I guess I'll leave it alone

Chorus:

      G5        B5
      Games people play
       A5                           D5
      Night or day they're just not matchin'
      G5            B5
      What they should do
                       A5
      Keeps me feelin' blue
      G5         B5
      Been down too long
       A5                           D5
      Right, wrong, they just can't stop it
      G5        B5
      Spendin' all day
                  [1:  B5   E5  B5   E5 ]
                  [2:  A5 ]
      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
                 C5    A5
      Guess I'll call it a day
