[Intro]
C G F 2x
[Strophe]
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 
                 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
[Refrain]
      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
[Strophe]
     G 
Just stare into space 
Em         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
[Refrain]
      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

they call it the blues
