[Verse 1]
Gm                                  F          Cm    Gm
Running in to you last night sent a cold chill to my heart
Gm                                  F        Cm   Gm
I’m not half the man I used to be   since we been apart
Cm                                 Gm
Never knew how much I loved you    until you were gone
Cm                               D
Life has changed  nothing works  I’m barely hanging on


[Chorus 1]
Gm                                            F               Cm      Gm
Ah, baby I miss you  I just want to kiss you  I’m sorry now I paid my dues
Gm                    Bb               C       Eb          D        Gm
If you forgive me you know that you’ll find me down at the house of blues

[Verse 2]
Gm                                  F         Cm      Gm
Remember how she loved me true  she gave everything I need
Gm                                  F         Cm     Gm
I Didn’t realize how good I had it  until she set me free
Cm                                      Gm
Honey how you never missed your wallet  till the well runs dry
Cm                                      D
When I think about  how much I lost  it makes me want to die 

[Chorus 2]
Gm                                                      F               Cm       Gm
So if your lover leaves you  she don’t want to see you  You know how it feels to loose
Gm                   Bb         C              Eb          D        Gm
And when you hit the end of the road you’ll be down at the house of blues

[solo]

[Bridge]
Bb       F          Eb                              Eb  F  Bb
Somebody needs you  to turn your world upside down
Bb     F                  Eb            F       Dm
Only a love love love can turn it back around   turn it around

[Verse 3]
Gm                                          F               Cm     Gm
When your sword shines in the daytime   the stars wont come out at night
Gm                                                 F              Cm    Gm
My friends don’t come around here no more  There’s nothing that’s going right
Cm                         Gm
Since that woman left me   my lifes been a living hell
Gm        Cm                            D
I’m gonna pack my bags and move on down to the H. O. V. hotel

[Chorus 3]
Gm                                        F        Cm     Gm
And I’ll be hangin out with BB King in my John Lee Hooker shoes
Gm                      Bb          C    Eb          D        Gm
Get out of the rain and give up the pain down at the house of blues

[solo]

[verse 4]
Cm                            Gm        
Since that woman left me   my lifes been a living hell
Cm                                             D
I’m gonna pack my bags and move on down to the H. O. V. hotel

[Chorus 4]
Gm                                           F        Cm     Gm
And I’ll be hangin out with BB King in those John Lee Hooker shoes
Gm                      Bb          C     Eb         D        Gm
Get out of the rain and give up the pain down at the house of blues
Gm               Bb         C                   Eb          D        Gm
When you hit the end of the road down you’ll be down at the house of blues
