[F#] [A]
[A] [F#] [A]
[A] [F#] [F#m]
You know I really [E] wanna see [A] you when you know [F#] I might not
And [A] you make me [Bm] want you more [F#] when you hurt me a lot
I say I [E] really love you [A] and you say that you [F#] don't
[A] And it really turns [B] me on when [F#] you say that you won't
[A] The blues [Bm] before [F#m] and after
[A] I kept the [B] blues before and [A] after I'm with you
The blues [Bm] before [F#] and after
[A] I kept the blues [Bm] before and [F#] after loving you
Sometimes I need to [E] hear your voice, [A] sometimes I [F#] don't wanna know
I get [A] so tired of [B] trying to win you, [F#] I just don't wanna know
You're taking just [E] what you need, you [A] did it well on your way
I hear the same [B] old story [F#] almost every day
[A] The blues [B] before [F#m] and after
I [A] kept the [Bm] blues before and [A] after I'm with you
The blues [B] before [A] and after
I kept the [Bm] blues before and [F#] after loving you
It's [C#] a shame that you won't see me [A] when I need you [B] tonight
Cause [C#] I know that if you did then [A] everything [B] would be right
And [C#] I've tried my very best to [A] get the [B] things that you need
But [A] the blues is in the Bible, [B] I never see
I [F#] [E]
[F#] [A]
[B] [A] [F#] [E]
[F#]
wanna take you [E] in my arms and [A] we just don't wanna know
When I finally [B] get to touch you, [F#] it feels like 40 below
[D] [Gm] There's always you have [A] gotten your way
Just a normal [B] complication [F#] in a typical day
[A] The blues [B] before [F#] and after
[A] I kept the [B] blues before and [F#] after I'm with you
[A] The blues [Bm] before [F#m] and after
I [A] kept the [Bm] blues before and [A] after [F#] loving you
[A] The blues [E] before [F#m] and after
I kept the [B] blues before and [C#m] after I'm with you
[A] The blues [C#m] before and [F#] after
[A] I kept the [B] blues before and [F#m] after loving you
[A] The blues [B] [F#m] before and after
I kept the blues before and after I'm with you
The blues [E] before and [F#] after
