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

Pull out a deck of cards, play some solitaire

Break out a bottle, wash me a glass

To keep me company 'til the feelings pass



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

Me, I'll just sit here and think about you

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

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:
Why fight the feeling when I can't fight back the tears
I stare at the ceiling and wish that you were here
I'm going crazy, but I ain't crazy yet
It's just the blues as blues can get...

Outro (repeat to fade):
Em D C D
