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]
