♫ Verse 1:
C         F/C
I gotta quit this habit
              C
It's like some drug for you
E/D             Am
You've been my sweet, sweet addict
        F        G
I've been your little white boy blue
C            F
You've got the same obsession
      F/C    C
We ain't no cat and mouse
E/D          Am       F
You linger on my lips like confession
       Dm      G
You laid the traps in this house

♫ Chorus:
      C
And it's no use, each way we lose
      Bb            F
You and me at the crossroads of Blue Avenue
C
Hit and run, hearts collide here
C
True love passes through
      Bb           F
Looks like we've got a wreck, babe
       C  F
Up on Blue Avenue
       C  C/D F
Up on Blue Avenue
     C
Blue Avenue


♫ Verse 2:
C          F/C
Two hearts get entangled
            C
Dirty minds, they go to town
E/D        Am
Everyone's got an angle
    F        G
Little lies get spread around
C           F/C
Let them say what they want
            C
You and me, we already knew
   E/D        Am
Takes more than hocus pocus, babe
  F       Dm7   G
To save you from Blue Avenue
