Intro

G G Am G

Verse 1

G
Oh, Monday morning waking up still too numb to speak
Am                                G
Another night just staring at the wall.
G
Last night's conversation knocked me off my feet
Am               G
guess today I'll fall
  Em                                C
I wish that we could find the words to look the other way
G                                  D
Be careful of the things we do and watch the things we say
    Em                               C
And maybe then we'd get somewhere we'd never been before
    G                                   D
But what's the use in fighting when you know you've lost the war.

Verse 2

G
Walk the streets in New Orleans, shirt soaked to my skin
 Am                               G
Through the mess of yesterday's parade.
G
Thousand times a day I think of calling you again
Am                 G
Come to my senses instead.
Em                             C
And every time we walk away we lose a little time
G                                 D
Pretending to each other now that everything is fine
Em                            C
I know whatever lies I use to get myself to sleep
G                           D
I wake up to the promises I know we couldn't keep.

Chorus

              G  D
Say you don't see what's wrong
      Em            C
Every night lasting oh so long,
      G       D                  G     C D
And I know, I do, you're already gone.

Bridge

Em  C  G  D   Em  C  G  D
  Bm                      Em
I wonder should I get up, would but what's the point?
C                   D                  G     D/F#
Oh once something's gone it's gone for good.
Em            B/D#      G/D              A/C#
Maybe I could look away back to where we used to be,
Am                     D
One more time I wish I could.

Verse 3

G
Oh, nevermind the reasons that tore us all apart
Am                                    G
We've both done things I know we can't defend.
G
What's the use in tracing it all back to the start
Am                              G
THere's something missing in the end.
Em                                     C
I wish that we could find the words to look the other way
G                                 D
Be careful of the things we do and everything we say
Em                                     C
And maybe then we'd get somewhere we'd never been before
G                                       D
But what's the use in fighting when you know you've lost the war.

Chorus

              G  D
Say you don't see what's wrong
      Em            C
Every night lasting oh so long,
      G       D                  Em    C
And I know, I do, you're already gone.
     G       D                  G     C D G
Oh I know, I do, you're already gone.
