[Dm] [Am] [F] [C]
LYRICS:

So you got the blues

The evening wore out your shoes

To a shuffling beat

It's a colourful crowd

Spray can information

Cover the lonely station

Checkpoint for the state of the nation

So you got the blues

The evening wore out your shoes

On the m[Dm]issionbeat be[Am]at [F] [C]

The [Dm]radio d[Am]rug [F] [C]

[Dm]Wayward d[Am]estin[F]ations [C]

[Dm]Secondh[Am]and sens[F]ations [C]

CHORUS:

[Dm]Take this heart

[Dm]Break [Am]this he[F]art

[C]Wrap it up


So you got the blues

The evening wore out your shoes

In the back of the cell

The plug and the cord

Shoulder dislocation

Bruised in isolation


CHORUS


BRIDGE:

[Am]Sleep[Em], [G] [Am] [Am]sleep[F] [Dm]

[Am]Sleep[Em], [G] [Am] [Am]sleep[F] [Dm] [Dm]

[Dm] [Am] [F] [C] [Dm] [Am] [F] [C]
In the eye of the storm

Writing on walls

Cross my heart confusion

We're all looking for a new solution

It's the h[Dm]eat of the l[Am]and [F] [C]

[Dm]Swallowing sw[Am]eat [F] [C]

[Dm]Say those dr[Am]eams can sh[F]ake me [C]

[Dm]Dawn come d[Am]own and s[F]ave me [C]


CHORUS


BRIDGE


So you got the blues

The evening wore out your shoes

So you got the blues

The evening wore out your shoes

So, so you got the blues

End.
