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 
 
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. 

              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.

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 
 
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. 

              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.
