Don't wish it a-way
Don't look at it like it's for - -ev-er
Be-tween you and me I could hon-est-ly say -
That thi-ngs can on-ly get bet-ter
And while I'm a-way
Bust out the de-mons in-side
And it wo-n't be long be-fore you and me - run -
To the place in our hearts whe-re we hide
chorus-
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laugh-ing like child-ren, liv-ing like lov-ers
Roll-ing like thun-der un-der the cov-ers
And I guess that's why they call - it the blues
verse 2.
Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ev-er I sim-ply love- you -
More than I love life- it-self
