Lyrics:
Dm7 F/G Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Used to be so easy to give my heart away
Bm7b5 E Am Bmadd4 Am/C Am
But I've found that the hard way is a price you have to pay
Dm7 F/G Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I found that love was no friend of mine
Bm7b5 Esus4 E
I should have known time after time
Am Em Am Dadd2
So long, it was so long ago
F7/9 E7#9 Am
But I've still got the blues for you
Dm7 F/G Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Used to be so easy to fall in love again
Bm7b5 E Am Bmadd4 Am/C Am
I've found that the hard way, it's a way that leads to pain
Dm7 F/G Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I've found that love was more than just a game
Bm7b5 Esus4 E
To play and to win but to lose just the same
Am Em Am Dadd2
So long, it was so long ago
F7/9 E7#9 Am
But I've still got the blues for you
Bm7 E Am7 Bm7 C
So many years since I've seen your face
Bm7 E Fmaj7 Cadd2 Fmaj7
And now in my heart, there's an empty space
Am
You used to be
Am Em Am Dadd2
So long, it was so long ago
F7/9 E7#9 Am Em
But I've still got the blues for you
Am Em Am Dadd2
Though the days come and go, there's one thing I know
F7/9 E7#9 Am
I've still got the blues for you↑
