Intro
SOL SOL LAm SOL
Verse 1
SOL
Oh, Monday morning waking up still too numb to speak
LAm SOL
Another night just staring at the wall.
SOL
Last night's conversation knocked me off my feet
LAm SOL
guess today I'll fall
MIm DO
I wish that we could find the words to look the other way
SOL RE
Be careful of the things we do and watch the things we say
MIm DO
And maybe then we'd get somewhere we'd never been before
SOL RE
But what's the use in fighting when you know you've lost the war.
Verse 2
Walk the streets in New Orleans, shirt soaked to my skin
Through the mess of yesterday's parade.
Thousand times a day I think of calling you again
Come to my senses instead.
And every time we walk away we lose a little time
Pretending to each other now that everything is fine.
I know whatever lies I use to get myself to sleep
I wake up to the promises I know we couldn't keep.
Chorus
SOL RE
Say you don't see what's wrong
MIm DO
Every night lasting oh so long,
SOL RE SOL DO RE
And I know, I do, you're already gone.
Bridge:
Em C G D, Em C G D
SIm MIm
I wonder should I get up, would but what's the point?
DO RE SOL RE/FA#
Oh once something's gone it's gone for good.
MIm SI/MIb SOL/RE LA/DO#
Maybe I could look away back to where we used to be,
LAm RE
One more time I wish I could.
Verse 3
Oh, nevermind the reasons that tore us all apart
We've both done things I know we can't defend.
What's the use in tracing it all back to the start
THere's something missing in the end.
I wish that we could find the words to look the other way
Be careful of the things we do and everything we say
And maybe then we'd get somewhere we'd never been before
But what's the use in fighting when you know you've lost the war.
Chorus
SOL RE
Say you don't see what's wrong
MIm DO
Every night lasting oh so long,
SOL RE MIm DO
And I know, I do, you're already gone.
SOL RE SOL DO RE SOL
Oh I know, I do, you're already gone.
