[G] [F] [C]
[G] [F] [G] Don't wish it away, don't look at it [F] like it's [C] forever.
Between [G] me and you, I [Bm] promise to say, [F] things can [C] only get better
[Cm] [C] while [G] I'm away.
[B] Dust out the demons [Em] inside, [G]
and it [C] won't be long before you and [G] me run to the place that [Am] I heart, [F] where [G] we hide.
[C] I guess that's why [G] they call it [F] the blues, time of [C] my life, [G] who'll be time spent [F] with you.
[C] Oh, laughing [G] like children, living [Am] like lovers, rolling [F] like thunder under [D] the cover.
[F] And I guess that's [G] why they call it the [C] blues.
[Bm] [F]
[G] Staring at space, [Em] old picture, [F] my face in your hand.
[C] Live for a [G] second, without [Bm] hesitation, [F] never forget I'm your man.
[C]
Wait on [G] me girl, [B] cry in the night if [Em] it helps.
But more [C] than ever, I simply [G] love you, more than [Am] I love [F]
life, I said.
[G]
[C] I guess that's [G] why they call it [F] the blues, time of [C] my life, [G] who'll be time spent [F] with you.
[C] Oh, laughing [G] like children, living [Am] like lovers, [C]
rolling [F] like thunder under [D] the cover.
[C] I guess [G] that's why they call it [C] the blues.

Wait on me [G] girl, [B] cry in the night if it [Em] helps.

But more than [C] ever, I simply [G] love you, more than I [Am] love [C] life, I [G] said.
And [C] I guess that's why [G] they call it [F] the blues, time of [C] my life, [G] who'll be time spent [F] with you.
[C] Oh, laughing [G] like children, living [C] like lovers, rolling [F] like thunder under [D] the cover.
[C] I guess that's [G] why they call it [C] the blues, laughing like children, [Am] [Em] living like lovers.
[F] I guess [G] that's why they call it [C] the blues, [G] laughing like children, [Am] [Em] living like lovers.
[C] I guess that's why they call it the blues.
[Em] [F]
[Em] [C] And I guess that's why they call it the blues.
