(verse 1) 
G 
This morning is Monday where are you now, 
                                      D 
Teasin' my memory teaching me how to lay low, 
             C      C7 
When I don't want to, 
 
(verse 2) 
G 
Well love is elusive this I know now 
 
It's making me crazy leaving me out, 
       D                  C     G - C - G 
In the open  when I don't want to, 
 
(bridge) 
G 
The moments of pleasures, never do last, 
 
Are gone like a suitcase full of your past, 
D                  C    C7 
Long gone and in a hurry, 


Em                            G 
Baby, I can't go through this again, 
                Em                              G 
I don't need to go down more then I've already been, 
            Em                                 G 
Just like a wild fire  you're running all over town, 
                Em                                  G 
As much as you burn me baby  I should be ashes by now,  
 
(verse 3) 
G 
The second street beggars  alone in their life, 
 
Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night, 
     D                       C   C7 
Like I am  They're just like I am , 


Em                            G 
Baby, I can't go through this again 
                Em                              G 
I don't need to go down more then I've already been, 
             Em                                 G 
Just like a wild fire  you're running all over town, 
                Em                                  G 
As much as you burn me baby  I should be ashes by now,  
 
(ending) 
             Em                                  G 
Just like a wild fire  You're running all over town, 
                Em                                 G 
As much as you burn me, baby  I should be ashes by now, 
Em  Ebm Dm   G   Em  Ebm  Dm G 
Ah ah ah ah ah   ah  ah   ah ah, I should be ashes by now, 
 
(ending chords - 
Em - Ebm - Dm - G )
