That’s what the blues is all about

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
