[Intro 1]
[C][Em][F]
[C][Em][F]

[Verse 1]
[G]Don't wish it away
Don't [Em]look at it like [F]it's [C]forever[F]
[C][F][C][F]
[C]Between you and [G]me
I can honestly [Bm]say
That [F]things can only get [C]better[F]
[C][F][C][F]
And [C]while I'm away

[Pre-chorus 1]
[G]
[B]Dust out the demons in[Em]side
[Dm]And it won't be long[C] before you and me run[G]
To the place in our [Am]hearts
[F]where we [G]hide[Am][G]

[Chorus 1]
And I [C]guess that's why they [G]call it the [F]blues
Time on my [C]hands
could be [G]time spent with [F]you
[C]Laughing like [G]children,
living like [Am]lovers
Rolling like [F]thunder
under the [D]covers
And I [F]guess that's why they
[F]call it the [C]blues[Em][F]

[Verse 2]
[G]Just stare into space
[Em]Picture my [F]face in your [C]hands[F]
[C][F][C][F]
[C]Live for each [G]second
without hesi[Bm]tation
and [F]never forget I'm your [C]man[F]
[C][F][C][F]
[C]Wait on me girl

[Pre-chorus 2]
[G]
[B]Cry in the night if it [Em]helps
[Dm]But more than ever[C]
I simply love [G]you
More than I [Am]love [F]life it[G]self[Am][G]

[Chorus 2]
And I [C]guess that's why they [G]call it the [F]blues
Time on my [C]hands
could be [G]time spent with [F]you
[C]Laughing like [G]children,
living like [Am]lovers
Rolling like [F]thunder
under the [D]covers
And I [F]guess that's why they
[F]call it the [C]blues[Em][F]

[Solo 1]
[G][Em][F]
[C][F][C][F][C][F][C]
[G][Bm][F]
[C][F][C][F][C][F]
[C]Wait on me girl

[Pre-chorus 3]
[G]
[B]Cry in the night if it [Em]helps
[Dm]But more than ever[C]
I simply love [G]you
More than I [Am]love [F]life it[G]self[Am][G]

[Chorus 3]
And I [C]guess that's why they [G]call it the [F]blues
Time on my [C]hands
could be [G]time spent with [F]you
[C]Laughing like [G]children,
living like [Am]lovers
Rolling like [F]thunder
under the [D]covers
And I [F]guess that's why they
[F]call it the [C]blues
Loving like [G]children, [Am]living like love[Em]rs
I [F]guess that's why they [F]call it the [C]blues
Loving like [G]children, [Am]living like love[Em]rs
I [F]guess that's why they [F]call it the [C]blues
[G]And[Am] I[Em]
[F]guess that's why they [F]call it the [C]blues
