Fmaj7
She left on a Monday,
Fmaj7/E Dm Dm9
She's a siren down the road
Dm9/C Bb9
In your herringbone overcoat
Cadd9
That you don't expect to get back
Fmaj7
And it's an ordinary sky
Fmaj7/E Dm Dm9
Today's like any other day
Dm9/C Bb9
When all of the aeroplanes
Cadd9
Write her name in the clouds
Fmaj7
And nothing's wrong
Fmaj7/E Dm Dm9
But it's already Sunday
Dm9/C Bb9
And you know just how Sunday
Cadd9
Was the day that she would come around
Dm Am7 Bb9
Go to her, foolish man
Cadd9
What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?
Dm Am7 Bb9
She'll endure all she can
C (let ring)
But you could make this ease your own hurt
Fmaj7
It's all like sinking
Fmaj7/E Dm
You're trying to stay afloat
Dm/C Bb9
Like a wind-blown paper boat
Cadd9
Over uncharted seas
Fmaj7
There's no question why
Fmaj7/E Dm Dm9
You're driving to kill some time
Dm9/C Bb9
Racing the powerlines
Cadd9
Back into town
Dm Am7 Bb9
Go to her, foolish man
Cadd9
What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?
Dm Am7 Bb9
She'll endure all she can
C7
But you could make this ease your own hurt
Dm Am7 Bb9
Go to her, foolish man
C7
What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?
Dm Am7 Bb9
She'll endure all she can
C
But you could make this ease your own hurt
C
Make this ease your own hurt
C
Make this ease your own hurt
C
Make this ease your own hurt
