I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues by Elton John
I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues
G
Don't wish it away
Em F C F C F C F
Don't look at it like it's forever
C G
Between you and me
Bm F C F C F C F
I could honestly say that things can only get better
C G B7 Em
And while I'm away bust out the demons inside G7
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
Laughing like children
Am
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
2nd verse :
Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second
Without hesitation, never forget I'm your man
Wait on me girl, cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself
