#INTRO:
[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.
