Baby Blue by Tor Miller
from debut album American English
Studio Version (chord transcription from piano)
No Capo
[Verse 1]
Gm F#dim Eb
I left home about a week ago
Cm F D Eb Eb/D
I never really had a brain of my own
Cm Bb
Back then I had an ego
Cm F D Eb Eb/D
Thinking that the world was so damn small
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F Bb Eb Bb
And it’s like the lawn is on fire
F Bb Eb F Fsus4 F
Like the fumes might get me high
[Chorus]
Eb Eb/E F
And baby blue, what should I do?
Bbmaj7 Bb Gm Gm/F
Will I feel so lost without you?
Eb Eb/E F
And I'm deaf, dumb, blind and out of touch
Bbmaj7 Bb Gm Gm/F
Your eyes got so big, who can I trust?
Eb Eb/E F
And I feel so far from your side
Bbmaj7 Bb Gm
And when I look up I start to cry
Gm/F Eb
You're a darker hue
Bb
My baby blue
[Verse 2]
Gm F#dim Eb
And I've re-read the same page
Cm F D Eb Eb/D
Never comprehending what the words have to say
Cm Bb
I'm always on the next stage
Cm F D Eb Eb/D
Living for a moment that never comes my way
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F Bb Eb Bb
And it’s like my number is retired
F Bb Eb F Fsus4 F
Like we always knew our lines
[Chorus]
Eb Eb/E F
And baby blue, what should I do?
Bbmaj7 Bb Gm Gm/F
Will I feel so lost without you?
Eb Eb/E F
And I'm deaf, dumb, blind and out of touch
Bbmaj7 Bb Gm Gm/F
Your eyes got so big, who can I trust?
Eb Eb/E F
And I feel so far from your side
Bbmaj7 Bb Gm
And when I look up I start to cry
Gm/F Eb
You're a darker hue
[Chorus]
(Starts with no chords played, and suddenly comes in with "And I feel...")
Eb Eb/E F
Baby blue, what should I do?
Bbmaj7 Bb Gm Gm/F
Will I feel so lost without you?
Eb Eb/E F
And I'm deaf, dumb, blind and out of touch
Bbmaj7 Bb Gm Gm/F
Your eyes got so big, who can I trust?
Eb Eb/E F
And I feel so far from your side
Bbmaj7 Bb Gm
And when I look up I start to cry
Gm/F Eb
You're a darker hue
Bb
My baby blue
[Outro]
Eb
You're a darker hue
Bb
My baby blue
