[Verse]
G
Don't wish it away
Bm F C F C F C F C
Don't look at it's like it's forever
C G
Between you and me

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

Just stare into space
Em F C F C F C F C
Picture my face in your hands

Live for each second

Without hesitation
F C F C F C F C
And never forget I'm your man

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

they call it the blues

living like lovers,

rolling like thunder, under the covers

they call it the blues
