That’s what the blues is all about

Intro: [Am][Dm][F][E7][E][Am][E7]

 

1. Your heart says [Am] yes but your head says [Dm] no

And you’re [Am] tangled up in [E7] doubt

You [E] [Am] wanna cry, scream n’ shout, let [Dm] go

[Am] That’s what the [E7] blues is all [Am] about [E7]

 

Chorus: [E] [Am] Life’s been so hard and you’re scattered [Dm] to the wind

[Am] There’s no turning away from the [E7] night

[E] [Am] Where do you start to [Dm] begin

When you’re [Am] falling like a [E7] shadow in the [Am] light

 

2. [Dm] Tougher than the tears you [Am] cry

[Dm] Harder than the heartbreak in your [E7] heart

[Dm] Love is gonna tell you [Am] goodbye, yeah

And the [F] blues is gonna tear you all [E7] apart

 

Chorus: Sometimes you [Am] wake and the dream is [Dm] real

And your [Am] yesterday’s all gone [E7] by

[Am] Caught up in the heartache you [Dm] feel

And [F] trapped by the [E7] danger of the [Am] fight

 

Bridge: [Dm] Silenced by the sadness of your [Am] pain, oh Lord

[Dm] And broken by the fear of your [E7] doubt

[Dm] Wishing you could start all over [Am] again

[F] That is what the blues, [E7] that is what the blues is all [Am] about

[Am][Dm][Am][E7][Am][Dm][F][E7][Am]

 

Chorus: Oh, [Dm] tougher than the tears you [Am] cry

[Dm] Harder than the heartbreak in your [E7] heart

[Dm] Love is gonna tell you [Am] goodbye

And the [F] blues is gonna tear you all [E7] [E] apart

 

Outro: [Dm] Silenced by the sadness of your [Am] pain

And [Dm] broken by the fear of your [E7] [E] doubt

[Dm] Wishing you could start [D] all over [Am] again

Now [F] that is what the blues, [E] that is what the blues is all [Am] about…all about

[Am] Now that is what the blues, that is what the blues is all about
