You know my life would be easy
D#m A#m
If people would leave me alone
D#m A#m
Stop steppin' on my fingers
D#m A#m
That I've been workin' to the bone
G# A#m
Maybe then I could get back with you
D#m A#m
God damn I hate the blues
D#m A#m
D#m A#m
I've tried to put 'em in a bottle
D#m A#m
Some people pu 'em in their arm
D#m A#m
Either way they're gonna kill you
D#m A#m
Slowly eat away your heart
G# A#m
If only I could stop the thought of you
D#m A#m
God damn I hate the blues

I never learned to listen
D#m A#m
To the promises I'd made
D#m A#m
I never thought you'd stay away
D#m A#m
Leaving me to take the blame
G# A#m
I never thought you'de follow through
D#m A#m
God damn I hate the blues
