Bm Am
I look at your picture I'm nothin but blue
I'm hearing you whisper The way you used to do
And I [Em] can't stop [D] wondering
[G] just how things might have [Am] been.
No, [F] I'm nothin but [G] blue (for the G, try using the regular fingered
F slid up two frets)
My life has no rhythm, somehow it's outta tune
I keep trying to tell them we'll be seeing them soon
But the truth keeps rushing back, guess you know what I mean
No I'm nothing but nothing but blue
[C#m] No use in [D] crying [G#5] That ain't what you would [A5] do [B5] no!
[C#m] living or [D] dying we'll just [F7] keep on fighting through [F7/A.
A] yeah!
