Verse 1:
C[A]an't get no rest
Don't know[Bm7/A] how I work all day
[Amaj7]When will I learn?
Memo[Bm7/A]ries get in the way
[Dmaj7] I walk ar[C#m7]ound
I[C#m7/F#] can't hear a sound, folks talkin' loud, but[F#] I
[Dmaj7]Don't see at[C#m7] all
I[C#m7/F#] gotta get away, gotta get away, I d[F#]on't
[Emaj7]Know where to[D#m7] go
[Dmaj7]It's hopeless[C#m7] so
I guess I'll [Cmaj7]leave it a[Bm7]lone [Bm7/E] w[E7]ell 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
I guess I'll [Cmaj7]leave it a[Am7/D]lone
Chorus:
[Gmaj7]Games people [Bm7]play
N[Am7]ight or day they're just not m[D7]atchin'
[Gmaj7]What they should [Bm7]do
Keeps me feelin' [Am7/D]blue
[Gmaj7]Been down too [Bm7]long
R[Am7]ight, wrong, they just can't s[D7]top it
[Gmaj7]Spendin' all [Bm7]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
Guess I'll [Cmaj7]call it a[Am7/D] day
(repeat chorus; fade 2nd time)
