Verse: 
Em                  G7  
Gonna sit right down in my easy chair 

Cmaj7                     Am/F#          B7 
Pull out a deck of cards, play some solitaire 

Em                G7  
Break out a bottle, wash me a glass 

Cmaj7               B7sus4           B7 
To keep me company 'til the feelings pass 



C    G/B        Am           G/B  
Everybody needs something to do 

C             G/B          Am    D     G 
Me, I'll just sit here and think about you

It might seem hopeless, but it ain't that bad yet

It's just the blues as blues can get... 


verse 2: 
I need to call somebody, someone I can trust 
I need the number for lovers' anonymous 
I'll tell 'em my story, hope they understand 
Maybe they can explain it to me'cause I don't think I can 

Chorus 
I'll take your picture down from my wall 
Try to remember the thrill of it all 
I know it's over, but it ain't over yet 
It's just the blues as blues can get... 

Interlude: 
Em D C D  
Em D C B7 

Chorus:
