 She left on a Monday,
 She's a siren  down the road
 In your herringbone  overcoat
 That you don't expect  to get back
 And it's an  ordinary sky
 Today's like  any other  day
 When all of  the aeroplanes
 Write her name in  the clouds
 And  nothing's wrong
 But it's already Sunday
 And you know  just how  Sunday
 Was the day that she would  come around
 Go to her,  foolish man
 What's the use of having  pride if you don't have her?
 She'll endure  all she can
 But you could make this ease  your own hurt
 It's all like  sinking
 You're trying  to stay afloat
 Like a wind-blown paper  boat
 Over uncharted  seas
 There's no  question why
 You're driving  to kill some time
 Racing  the powerlines
 Back into  town
 Go to her,  foolish man
 What's the use of having  pride if you don't have her?
 She'll endure  all she can
 But you could make this ease  your own hurt
 Go to her,  foolish man
 What's the use of having  pride if you don't have her?
 She'll endure  all she can
 But you could make this ease  your own hurt
 Make this ease  your own hurt
 Make this ease  your own hurt
 Make this ease  your own hurt

[Begin softly, and build to a slow crescendo throughout]

She left on a [Fmaj7]Monday,

She's a si[Fmaj7]ren   [E]  [Dm] down the road[Dm9]

In your [Dm9]herr[C]ingbone[Bbadd9] overcoat

That you don't expe[Cadd9]ct to get back

And it's an[Fmaj7] ordinary sky

Today's like[Fmaj7] any  [E]  [Dm]other day   [Dm9]

When [Dm9]all [C]of [Bbadd9] the aeroplanes

Write her name i[Cadd9]n the clouds

An[Fmaj7]d nothing's wrong

But it's al[Fmaj7]ready [E]   [Dm]Sunday [Dm9]

And you [Dm9]know[C] just ho[Bbadd9]w Sunday

Was the day that she would[Cadd9] come around

[Dm]  Go to he[Am7]r, foolish [Bbadd9]man

What's the use of [Cadd9]having pride if you don't have her?

It's all li[Fmaj7]ke sinking

You're t[Fmaj7]rying [E]   [Dm] to stay afloat

Like a w[Dm/C]ind-blown [Bbadd9]paper boat

Over unchart[Cadd9]ed seas

There's [Fmaj7]no question why

You're d[Fmaj7]riving[E]   [Dm] to kill some time     [Dm9]

Ra[Dm9]cing[C]  [Bbadd9] the powerlines

But you could make this [C]ease your own hurt

Make this [C]ease your own hurt

Make this [C]ease your own hurt

Make this [C]ease your own hurt
