The Blue by Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit
The Blue
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:2nd fret
E A B C#m
A B C#m E
Don't roll away that stone girl
A B C#m E
Leave it where it lay
A B C#m E A B C#m
You think he's coming home but you know its not today
A B C#m E
I think the road'll break me
A B C#m E
And never fill the holes
A B C#m E A B
Everytime I'm saved I stop beating out of soul
C#m A E B
And I'm too scared to ask the right questions
C#m A E B
I'm too tired to fill the right shoes
C#m A E B
So I'll take advantage of the blue
C#m A B C#m
Oh I'll take advantage of the blue
A B C#m E
There really ain't no difference
A B C#m E
In Michigan and Maine
A B C#m E A B C#m
If you ain't here to see this I'm missing just the same
A B C#m E
Your skin is soft as water
A B C#m E
same temperature as me
A B C#m E A B
I'd never know I touched you if you didn't let me see
C#m A E B
And I'd crawl to meet you if you'd just stay there
C#m A E B
Finally have the thing I couldn't bear to lose
C#m A E B
For now I'll take advantage of the blues
C#m A B C#m
Oh I'll take advantage of the blue
D A E
Mark me up so they can see the best of me
D A E B
Hold me down when I can't find drink
C#m A E B
And dance so I don't have to think
C#m A E B
And dance so I don't have to think
C#m A B C#m
Please dance So I don't have to think
