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

Every night lasting oh so long,
F# C# D#m B
And I know, I do, you're already gone.

Oh I know, I do, you're already gone.
