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#                   
        I can't hear a sound, folks
                  F#
 talkin' loud, but I
        Dmaj7       C#m7
        Don't see at all
         C#m7/F#                   
        I gotta get away, gotta get
          F#
 away, I don't

        Emaj7        D#m7
        Know where to go
        Dmaj7        C#m7
        It's hopeless so
                     Cmaj7     Bm7
        I guess I'll leave it 
  Bm7/E  E7
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                     
        Night or day they're just 
      D7
not matchin'
        Gmaj7            Bm7
        What they should do
                         Am7/D
        Keeps me feelin' blue
        Gmaj7         Bm7
        Been down too long
         Am7                   
        Right, wrong, they just 
        D7
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
