	        (verse 1) 
G 
This morning is Monday where are you now, 
                                      D 
Teasin' my memory teaching me how to lay low, 
             C      C7 
When I don't want to, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
G 
Well love is elusive this I know now 
 
It's making me crazy leaving me out, 
       D                  C     G - C - G 
In the open  when I don't want to, 
 
 
(bridge) 
G 
The moments of pleasures, never do last, 
 
Are gone like a suitcase full of your past, 
D                  C    C7 
Long gone and in a hurry, 

Em G Baby, I can't go through this again, Em G I don't need to go down more then I've already been, Em G Just like a wild fire you're running all over town, Em G As much as you burn me baby I should be ashes by now,
(verse 3) G The second street beggars alone in their life, Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night, D C C7 Like I am They're just like I am,
Em G Baby, I can't go through this again Em G I don't need to go down more then I've already been, Em G Just like a wild fire you're running all over town, Em G As much as you burn me baby I should be ashes by now,
(ending) Em G Just like a wild fire You're running all over town, Em G As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now, Em Ebm Dm G Em Ebm Dm G Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, I should be ashes by now, (ending chords - Em - Ebm - Dm - G)
