These Blues

C   G  C


[Verse 1]
             C                                    G
There isn't room enough for the blues here in my heart, love
          C                                 G
They've stayed too long a thousand times before
            C                                           F
Well, they spill their wine, talk trash right from the start, love
             C                     G               C
And leave a string of tears that leads me out the door


[Chorus]
C                                  F
I don't know what keeps me coming back, my love
 C                           G           G7
All I know is I keep hanging on, hanging on
 C                   C7             F
Some fine day these blues are gonna    leave me alone
         C                    G                   C
But at least for now they've made themselves at home.

[Verse 2]
          C                                 G
Take my hand and won't you help me see the light, love
       C                                    G
These blues have shut out everything that shines
    C                                  F
But I can soldier on now through the night, love
          C             G                 C
And I'll get it right somewhere down the line


[Chorus]
C                                  F
I don't know what keeps me coming back, my love
 C                           G           G7
All I know is I keep hanging on, hanging on
 C                   C7             F
Some fine day these blues are gonna    leave me alone
         C                    G                   C
But at least for now they've made themselves at home.
         C                    G                   C
But at least for now they've made themselves at home.
