[Verse 1]
[D]I g[G]et [Gsus2]home[G][D][G][Gsus2][G]
from [D]work in [G]the evening
Been a long, long [D]day[G]
Noth[D]ing to do, I'll believe in
[G]I l[Gsus2]et the ra[G]dio[Gsus2] play[G][D][G]
[Gsus2]But something[G] they say[Em]
Makes me [A]think of you
[D]In this empty old place,
in this [G]empty old room
[Em]It don't seem fair,
they should be [A]playing our tune
[Bb]Little by [A]little I [Ab]real [G]ize wh[Dm]y I g[A]ot the
[D]blues[G][Gsus2][G][D][G][Gsus2]
[G]I h[D]ear they've been talking about us
[G]all [Gsus2]around to[G]wn[D][G][Gsus2][G]
[D]I see they've been walking around us
[G]Give me the run [D]around[G]
You know when you're [Em]down
When things that [A]you're saying do
[D]Don't seem to matter that much
anymore [G]to you
[Em]When all of your friends
have got better [A]things to do
[Bb]Baby, I've been [A]there too[G]
And that's [F]why [A]I got the [D]blues
