1. Don’t wish it away, don’t look at it like it’s forever,
C G Bm
between
you and me, I could honestly say

And while I’m away, dust out
the demons inside,

and
it won’t be long, before you and me run
Am F

to
the place in our hearts where we hide.
C G F
And I guess that’s why they call it the blues,
F C G F
time on my hands could be time
spent with you,
C

laughing like children, living like
lovers,
Am F D
rolling like thunder, under the
covers.

And I guess that’s why they call it the blues.

for each second, without hesitation, never forget I’m your man.

night if it helps,

but more

more
than I love life itself.
