Verse 1
F 
It may come as news, girl
Bb 
C 
But you ain't got the
Gm 
F 
blues that you sing
It's a feeling that you've stolen
Bb 
C 
From someone who's
Bb 
F 
holding the real thing
C 
And if you're looking for
love with me
F 
You've got to get it all
up front with me
C 
F 
Don't try to hide behind tomorrows
C 
You come on cryin'
tryin' to buy some time
F 
You know you're only
gonna waste your time
C 
F 
No one's sellin' imitations of sorrow
Gm 
So it may come as news,   girl
C 
Bb

But you ain't got the blues that you sing
It's a feelin' that you've stolen

I've sung your songs and
admitted I was wrong
F 
And I told you the truth all along

Every chance I got
F 
You said you're lookin' pretty
C 
F 
C 
But I'm runnin' out of words for you
F 
And I've done about
everything a man can do

C 
F 
You hung your dreams on the turn of a word like love,
C 
but I don't think I ever heard you smile
F 
When you used it,
C 
and you made your bets on the turn of a card
F 
Like me, but I never saw
C 
you try too hard
F 
When you played it,
Gm 
so it may come as news,   girl
Bb
