Intro:  A,  E,  F#mx2
    AWell I Ebeen downhearted F#mbaby, 
    ever since the day we met.
    So I hid behind all those old songs, 
    baby how blue can you get...
And the Asmoke filled my Elungs like I was Ddying,
And the summer sunset kissed my fingertips.
And the Asmoke filled my Elungs like I was Ddying,
And the summer sunset kissed my fingertips.
So someone F#mgrab my Dwrists and Apull me out of Ethis,
Take my F#mmoney, take my Dwallet, take my Ashoes.E  
Get a good, F#mgood hold of Dme and Apull on the count of Ethree,
Just F#mdo whatever you've gotta Ddo...
Do what you gotta do.
 A,  E,  F#mx2
  AAnd it's Ecold outside on a F#mMonday.
  Maybe that's the weather's sympathy.
  We hate the traffic and the tax forms, and our day jobs...
  What ungrateful men are we.
What, Athen, do I Edo with all these Dfeelings,
All the anger, all the there, but Grace, go I.
What, Athen, do I Edo with all these Dfeelings,
All the anger, all the there, but Grace, go I.
So someone F#mgrab my Dwrists and Apull me out of Ethis,
Take my F#mmoney, take my Dwallet, take my Ashoes.E  
Get a good, F#mgood hold of Dme and Apull on the count of Ethree,
