Verse:
Em G7
Gonna sit right down in my easy chair
Cmaj7 Am/F# B7
Pull out a deck of cards, play some solitaire
Em G7
Break out a bottle, wash me a glass
Cmaj7 B7sus4 B7
To keep me company 'til the feelings pass
Chorus:
C G/B Am G/B
Everybody needs something to do
C G/B Am D G
Me, I'll just sit here and think about you
C G/B Am B7
It might seem hopeless, but it ain't that bad yet
Am/F# B7 Em (to intro chords)
It's just the blues as blues can get...
Verse 2:
I need to call somebody, someone I can trust
I need the number for lovers' anonymous
I'll tell 'em my story, hope they understand
Maybe they can explain it to me'cause I don't think I can
Chorus
I'll take your picture down from my wall
Try to remember the thrill of it all
I know it's over, but it ain't over yet
It's just the blues as blues can get...
Interlude:
Em D C D
Em D C B7
Chorus:
Why fight the feeling when I can't fight back the tears
I stare at the ceiling and wish that you were here
I'm going crazy, but I ain't crazy yet
It's just the blues as blues can get...
