[Begin softly, and build to a slow crescendo throughout]

	      
She left on a Monday,

	  / 		
She's a siren      down the road

	/	    
In your herringbone overcoat

		   
That you don't expect to get back

	   
And it's an ordinary sky

            / 		
Today's like any    other day

     /  	
When all of  the aeroplanes

		
Write her name in the clouds

  
And nothing's wrong

           /  	   	
But it's already    Sunday

	/       
And you know just how Sunday

			  	
Was the day that she would come around


	          
  Go to her, foolish man

		  
What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?

	               
  She'll endure all she can

			C (let ring)
But you could make this ease your own hurt

           	
It's all like sinking

	/  
You're trying     to stay afloat

		  	
Like a wind-blown paper boat

	    
Over uncharted seas

	
There's no question why

	/  			
You're driving    to kill some time

  /		
Racing   the powerlines

       
Back into town

	          
  Go to her, foolish man

		  
What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?

	               
  She'll endure all she can

			
But you could make this ease your own hurt

	          
  Go to her, foolish man

		  
What's the use of having pride if you don't have her?

	               
  She'll endure all she can

			 
But you could make this ease your own hurt

	  
Make this ease your own hurt

	  
Make this ease your own hurt

	  
Make this ease your own hurt
