I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues

Elton John


Tom: C

[Intro] C  Em  F  C  Em  F

G
Don't wish it away
      Em                F    C      Csus4 C
Don't look at it like it's forever
               G
Between you and me
              Bm
I could honestly say
 F                       C       Csus4 C
that things can only get better

Pré-Refrão 1:
    C             G
And while I'm away
  B7                 Em
Dust out the demons inside
Dm                  C
And it won't be long
                  G
Before you and me run
                    Am
To the place in our hearts
F         G    Gsus4 G  Am G/B C
where we hide

Refrão 1:
     C
And I guess that's why
G/B         F
They call it the blues
 F         C
Time on my hands
   G                     F
Could be time spent with you
C               G
Laughing like children
              Am
Living like lovers
             F                   D7/F#
Rolling like thunder, under the covers
      F                 G                C     C Em F
And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Verso 2:
G
Just stare into space
Em       F               C   Csus4 C
Picture my face in your hands
               G
Live for each second
          Bm
Without hesitation,
 F                      C     Csus4 C
And never forget I'm your man

Pré Refrão 2:
C        G
Wait on me girl,
  B7                   Em
Cry in the night if it helps
    Dm         C                  G
But more than ever I simply love you
             Am  F      G   Gsus4 G (2x) Am G/B C
More than I love life itself

Refrão 2:
     C
And I guess that's why
 G/B           F
They call it the blues
F            C
Time on my hands
G                        F
Could be time spent with you
C                 G
Laughing like children
               Am
Living like lovers
            F                    D7/F#
Rolling like thunder, under the covers
      F                G                  C
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
