Verse 1:

       A
      Can't get no rest
                Bm7/A
      Don't know how I work all day
      A7M
      When will I learn?
          Bm7/A
      Memories get in the way
      D7M      C#m7
        I walk around
       C#m7/F#                                     F#
      I can't hear a sound, folks talkin' loud, but I
      D7M       C#m7
      Don't see at all
       C#m7/F#                             F#
      I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don't
      E7M        Ebm7
      Know where to go
      D7M        C#m7
      It's hopeless so
                   C7M     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
                   C7M     Am7/D
      I guess I'll leave it alone

Chorus:

      G7M        Bm7
      Games people play
       Am7                           D7
      Night or day they're just not matchin'
      G7M            Bm7
      What they should do
                       Am7/D
      Keeps me feelin' blue
      G7M         Bm7
      Been down too long
       Am7                           D7
      Right, wrong, they just can't stop it
      G7M        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
                 C7M    Am7/D
      Guess I'll call it a day

      [repeat chorus; fade 2nd time]
