Elton John - I Guess That's Why They Call It The

Blues

Tom: C

Intro: C G F C G F

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

G
And while I'm away
B7 Em
Dust out the demons inside
Dm C7
And it won't be long
G
Before you and me run
Am F
To the place in our hearts
F G C/G G Am7 G/B
where we hide

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

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

C G B7
Wait on me girl,
Em Dm
Cry in the night if it helps
C G
But more than ever I simply love you
Am F G C/G G C/G G Am7 G/B
More than I love life itself

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

And I guess that's why they call it the blues final ( C G Am
