Elton John-I gues that's why they call it the blues chords
Start Jamming...
Don't be set away
[Em] Don't look at it [F] like it's [C] forever
Between [G] you and me I could [Bm] honestly say
[F] The things can [C] only get better
And while [G] I'm away
[B] Just have the demons [Em] inside
[Dm] And it [C] won't be long before you and [G] me are wrong
To the place in [Am] our hearts
[F] Where [G] we hide
[C] And I guess [G] that's why they call it [F] the blue
Time on [C] my hands
[G] Put me tappin' [F] with you
[C] Lovin' [G] like children
Livin' [Am] like lovers
[C] Rollin' [F] like thunder
Under [F#m] the covers
[F] And I guess [Gm] that's why they call it [C] the blue
[Em] [F] Just [G] here in this space
[Em]
Picture [F] my face
In your hands
[C]
Live for [G] each second
Without [Bm] hesitation
[F] And never forget I'm your man
[C]
Wait on [G] me girl
[B] The crowds
[Em] [Dm] The mall [C] and L
I simply [G] love you
More than [Am] I love
[F] Life [G] itself
And
[C] I guess that's [G] why they call it [F] the blue
Time on [C] my hands
[G] Put me tappin' [F] with you
[C] Lovin' [G] like children
Livin' [Am] like lovers
[C] Rollin' [F] like thunder
Under [D] the covers
[F] And I guess that's [G] why they call it [C] the blue
Lovin' [G] like children
[Am] Livin' [Em] like lovers
[F] And I guess that's [G] why they call it [C] the blue
Lovin' [G] like children
[Am]
Vivin' [Em] like lovers
[F] And I guess that's [A] why they call it [C] the blues
[G] [Am] [Em] [F] And I guess
