You know my life would be easy

If people would leave me alone

That I've been workin' to the bone
E F#m
Maybe then I could get back with you
Bm F#m
God damn I hate the blues
Bm F#m
Bm F#m
I've tried to put 'em in a bottle
Bm F#m
Some people pu 'em in their arm
Bm F#m
Either way they're gonna kill you
Bm F#m
Slowly eat away your heart
E F#m
If only I could stop the thought of you
Bm F#m
God damn I hate the blues

God damn I hate the blues
