Capo I
E/G# E B
I guess it finally dawned on me you've gone
E/G# E B
Well maybe I can make it on my own
D Dsus2 B
I don't stay up wonderin' if you'll call
D E F#
And some nights I don't dream of you at all
E/G# E B
Your memory's still hurtin' deep inside
E/G# E B
That's something I'm still learning how to hide
D Dsus2 B
Though this heart of mine has lost an ache or two
D F# B
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue
E/G# E
Lookin' down the line sometimes
B7 B
I think I see a change
F# B
But then I think again and think of you
E/G# E
Here and there I've turned a stone
B E
But the mountain hasn't moved
E F# B
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue
E/G# E B
I'm still afraid of turning out the light
E/G# E B
And it takes all my strength to face the night
D Dsus2 B
Cause that's the time I face the bitter truth
D F# B
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue
(Repeat Chorus).
