Curtis died the other day,
C
G
it was somewhere in the news
They said it was pneumonia,
Am
C
D
but I think it was the blues
Am
C
His wife of over 15 years
D
G
had left him without warning
I think he couldn't face the nights,
D
G
Am
C
and even less the mornings
D
G
Well, how could he not have had a clue
When there were red flags everywhere?
Like how she always pulled away
Am
C
D
When he tried to touch her hair
Am
C
And how she always cut him off
D
G
if he ever tried to speak
Well, everyone but Curtis knew
D
G
C
And had known for several weeks
D
G
F
C
But love dies hard for those who
D
G
live in some forgotten story
F
C
But for Curtis it was more than a day,
D
G
Am
C
it was the end of glory
D
G
Well I'd seen him in his last few days,
and his weight was falling thin
He couldn't seem to concentrate
Am
C
D
and you'd never see him grin
Am
C
And why was all you'd ever hear
D
G
if you ever got him speaking?
I think he couldn't face the days
D
G
and even less the weekends
D
G
F
C
But love dies hard for those who
D
G
live in some forgotten story
F
C
And for Curtis it was more than pain,
D
G
it was the end of glory
C
G
to heartbreaks to this dance
C
Am
C
I wept, I wept, I wept,
D
G
Am
C
and I wept, oh I wept
D
G
Well, how could he not have ever known
When there were signs on every street
Like how she always turned away
Am
C
D
and their eyes would never meet
Am
C
And how she cut him to the quick
D
G
if he ever criticized
But somewhere deep down Curtis knew
D
G
As you could see it in his eyes
F
C
But love dies hard to those
D
G
who live in some forgotten story
F
C
But for Curtis it was more than that
D
G
It was the end of glory
Well, Curtis died the other day
D
G
And I think it was the blues
