{intro}
C....Em.....F  x2
G                  Em                    F        C F C F C F 
Don't wish it away Don't look at it like it's forever
C                G                   Bm        F                 C  F C F C F
Between you and me I could honestly say that things can only get better
     C         G    B7                    Em   G7
And while I'm away bust out the demons inside
                 C                     G
And it won't be long before you and me run
                       Am    F         G  Am7  G7
To the place in our hearts where we hide

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

G                     Em         F            C F C F C F 
Just stare into space Picture my face in your hands
C                G               Bm      F                     C  F C F C F
Live for each second Without hesitation, never forget I'm your man
     C     G     B7                       Em   G7
Wait on me girl, cry in the night if it helps
                 C                     G
But more than ever I simply love you
            Am   F      G     Am7  G7
More than I love life itself

{chorus}
G................Em.........F............C.F.C.F.C.F.

     C     G     B7                       Em   G7
Wait on me girl, cry in the night if it helps
                 C                     G
But more than ever I simply love you
            Am   F      G     Am7  G7
More than I love life itself
