[Intro 1]
[G][C][Gm][G]
[F][G][C][G]
[F]
[G]Don't get me wrong,

[Verse 1]
I ain't [C]the kind
[Cm]To turn away from [Eb]you
When something's [F]on your [G]mind.

[Verse 2]
But you have [G]to know,[Gm]
[G]You just have [C]to see,
I'm [Cm]having my [Eb]troubles, babe,
And they're all [F]too much [G]for me.

[Verse 3]
You picked a [Dm]real bad [C]time
To [G]spoil my [Gm]concentration
You picked a [Dm]real bad [C]time
To [G]pass along [Gm]the bad news
Tell me, [Dm]why you t[C]ry
To [G]give me [Gm]aggravation
You picked a [Dm]real bad time
[C#]'Cause this [C]man'[Cm]s got the [F]blues

[Verse 4]
Don't get me [G]wrong,
You're [Gm]not a[C]lone
And I'd like [Eb]to help you
But I've got problems [F]of my own
[G]It's a bitter

[Verse 5]
[Gm]phase
I'm [G]going [C]through
And I can run [Eb]from strangers, darlin',
But I just can't [F]hide [G]from you.

[Verse 6]
You picked a [Dm]real bad [C]time
To [G]spoil my [Gm]concentration
You picked a [Dm]real bad time
[C]To pas[G]s along the bad news
Tell me, [Dm]why you t[C]ry
To [G]give me [Gm]aggravation
You picked a [Dm]real bad [C]time
And [Eb]I got time to lo[F]se

[Verse 7]
Ain't it [C]the truth
When they [F]say
That the [Dm]only thing worth dy[C#]ing for
[Bbm]Is our freedo[F]m
Ain't it the [C]proof
That [F]someday
We [Eb]will [Bb]all be lying on our backs
[Bbm]Free at last from inc[Dm]ome tax

[Verse 8]
Don't you get me [G]wrong[Gm]
The mood won't [C]last
And I'll be my[Eb]self again
Soon as this [F]pain [G]has passed

[Verse 9]
And I'm [G]standing [Gm]here,
Don't [G]ask [Gm]me how,[C]
I'll make it [Eb]up to you,
Someday but [F]not right [G]now

[Verse 10]
You picked a [Dm]real bad [C]time
To [G]spoil my [Gm]concentration
You picked a [Dm]real [C]bad time
To [G]pass along the bad [Dm]news
You caused a real hard [C]line
To in[G]vade my isola[Gm]tion
You picked a [Dm]real bad [C#dim]time
'Cause [C]this man's got [Cm]the [C]blues[Dm][Gm]
[G]

[F]

[Verse 11]
Ain't it [C]the truth
When they [F]say
All you [Dm]need is love but [Bbm]all you'll
want is [F]forgiveness
Ain't it [C]the proof
That [Eb]someday[F]
[Eb]Even love [Bb]will not provide for man
The [Bbm]way that life insuran[Dm]ce can

[Verse 12]
You picked a [Dm]real bad [C]time
To [G]spoil my concentra[Gm]tion
You picked a [Dm]real bad [Cm]time
To [G]pass along the bad [Gm]news
Tell me, tell [Dm]me, tell me, tell me, [Cm]tell me
Why you try[Gm]in' to give
me aggravation
You picked a [Dm]real bad time,
[C#]cause this[Cm] man's got the blues.
