Lyrics

Don't wish it away,

(F)(C)Between you (D7sus)and me,

that (F)things er can only get (C)better.

(F)And (C)while I'm away,

(B7)dust out the demons inside,

(Dm7)and it won't than be (C)long before you and me (G)run to the place in our hearts

(F)where we hide.

(G)And I (C)guess that's why they (G)call it the (F)blues.

Time on (Dm7)my (C)hands could be (G)time spent with (F)you,

(C)laughing like (G)children, living like (Am)lovers,

(C)rolling like (F)thunder under the covers.

And I guess that's why they call it the (C)blues.

(G)Just stare into space;

don't (Em7)pic at ture my (F)face in your (C)hands.

(B7)Cry in the night if it helps,

(Dm7)and but more than (C)ever, be I simply love (G)you to the more than I love

(F)life itself.

(G)And I (C)guess that's why they (G)call it the (F)blues.

Time on (Dm7)my (C)hands could be (G)time spent with (F)you,

(C)laughing like (G)children, living like (Am)lovers,

(C)rolling like (F)thunder under the covers.

And I guess that's why they call it the (C)blues.
