  			C                 C7 
since you've been gone, 
F 
I've been walking around 
         C           G7             C 
With my head bowed down to my shoes. 
                         G 
I've been living the blues 
G7                       C 
 Every night without you. 
C 
 I don't have to go far, 
F 
To know where you are, 
   C           G7              C 
Strangers all give me the news. 
                          G7 
I've been living the blues. 
                       C 
Every night without you. 
F 
I think it's best I soon get some rest 
C 
And forget my pride 
    D 
But I can't deny this feeling that I 
 G     F       Dm        Em    Am  F  G 
carry for you deep down inside. 
        C 
If you see me this way, 
        F 
You'd come back and you'd stay, 
     C         G7       C 
Oh, how could you refuse. 
                         G 
I've been living the blues 
G7                      C 
Every night without you.
