        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] can'[F#]t hear a sound, folks talkin' loud, but[F#] I
        [Dmaj7]Don't see at[C#m7] all
        I[C#m7] gott[F#]a get away, gotta get away, I d[F#]on't
        [Emaj7]Know where to[Ebm7] go
        [Dmaj7]It's hopeless[C#m7] so
        I guess I'll [Cmaj7]leave it a[Bm7]lone [Bm7]    [E]  w[E7]ell I

        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

        [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

                    [2:  [Am7/D]]
        Thinking just of you

        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
