    A                        E7 
I'm Calling To Tell You It's Over 
                               A 
Yes Darling You're Now Free To Go 
                               E7 
You're Saying You're Sorry You Hurt Me 
                                   A 
But You Hurt Me Much More Than You Know 
       D                         A 
You're Asking Me Where This Call Comes From 
     E7 
Oh I Hope That You Won't End Up Here

If Your New Romance Turns Out A Failure

Here's Where To Find Me My Dear 
 
Chorus

I'm Just On The Blue Side Of Lonesome

Right Next To The Heartbreak Ho-tel 
                                  E7 
In A Tavern That's Known As Three Tear Drops 
                            A   A   E7   E7   A   A 
On A Bar Stool Not Doin' So Well 
 
    A                     E7 
The Floor Has A Carpet Of Sorrow 
                           A 
But No One Can Weep In The Aisle 
                                   E7 
And They Say Someone Broke The Bar Mirror 
                         A 
With Only The Ghost Of A Smile 
    D                        A 
The Hands On The Clock Never Alter 
    E7 
For Things Never Change In This Place 
           A                    E7 
There's No Present, No Past, No Future 
                                      A 
We're The Ones Who Have Lost In Loves Race 
 
Repeat Chorus
