[Verse 1]
Bb Bb7 F F7
I'm calling to tell you it's over
F F7 Bb (Bb)
Yes, darling, you're now free to go
Bb Bb7 Eb
You're saying you're sorry you hurt me
F F7 Bb (Bb)
But you hurt me much more than you know
[Verse 2]
Bb Bb7 F F7
You're asking me where this call comes from
F F7 Bb (Bb)
Oh, I hope that you won't end up here
Bb Bb7 Eb
If your new romance turns out a failure
F F7 Bb (Bb)
Here's where to find me, my dear
[Chorus]
Bb Bb7 F7 F
I'm just on the blue side of lonesome
F Bb (Bb)
Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel
Bb Bb Eb
In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops
F7 F Bb (Bb)
On a barstool not doing so well
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Bb Bb7 F F7
The floor has a carpet of sorrow
F F7 Bb (Bb)
But no one can weep in the aisle
Bb Bb7 Eb
And they say someone broke the bar mirror
F F7 Bb (Bb)
With only the ghost of a smile
[Verse 4]
Bb Bb7 F F
The hands on the clock never alter
F7 F Bb (Bb)
For things never change in this place
Bb Bb7 Eb
There's no present, no future, no past, dear
F F7 Bb (Bb)
You're the one who has lost in love's race
[Outro]

In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops

On a barstool not doing so well

On a barstool not doing so well
