[Intro]

C G F 2x

[Verse]

G
Don't wish it away
      Em7     F                 C    F C F C F C
Don't look at it's like it's forever
C               G
Between you and me
                 Bm
I could honestly say
     F                   C     F C F C F C
That things can only get better

    C          G
And while I'm away,
B7                    Em
dust out the demons inside
                C
And it won't be long
       Em         G
Before you and me run
                    Am
To the place in our hearts
F        G   C G Am G
Where we hide

[Chorus]

      C
And I guess that's why
     G           F
they call it the blues
           C
Time on my hands,
         G               F
could be time spent with you
C             G
Laughing like children,
            Am
living like lovers,
C            F                  D
rolling like thunder, under the covers
      F
And I guess that's why
     G           C    Em F
they call it the blues

[Verse]

     G
Just stare into space
Em7        F            C    F C F C F C
Picture my face in your hands
C             G
Live for each second
            Bm
Without hesitation
    F                     C  F C F C F C
And never forget I'm your man

C          G
Wait on me girl
B7         Em          G
Cry in the night if it helps
    G7        C                  G
But more than ever I simply love you
            Am   F      G   C G Am G
More than I love life itself

[Chorus]

      C
And I guess that's why
     G           F
they call it the blues
           C
Time on my hands,
         G               F
could be time spent with you
C             G
Laughing like children,
            Am
living like lovers,
C            F                  D
rolling like thunder, under the covers
      F
And I guess that's why
     G           C     C G F
they call it the blues
