^EmI learned how to hammer, In the burning August s^Gun,

I learned how to lie and cheat,

How to steal and just how to run, ^Em I fell asleep most nights, Somebody elses blood on my to^Gngue, your tongue, You learn just how to ru^Dn.

Chorus:

But It's just the b^Emlues, Mary the bl^Cues swirl it ar^Gound my head like your d^Dreams ignoring these sh^Emoes, I'm somewhere ov^Cer the rainbow for ^Gyou. ^D

Verse 2:

^EmI learned how to cry, In them lonesome September ni^Gghts,

I learned to get by,

With the dogs and the dirt and the charm of the st^Emreet I fell asleep most nights, With your pictures right behind my e^Gyes, your eyes, The killer and the victim, alri^Dght, Right at the same ti^Dme.

Chorus:

But It's just the b^Emlues, Mary the bl^Cues swirl it ar^Gound my head like your d^Dreams ignoring these sh^Emoes, I'm somewhere ov^Cer the rainbow for ^Gyou. ^D

Bridge:

^F#mAnd cause your sm^Dile, (And cause your ^Asmile) is pride like a re^Ebel on the 4th of ju^F#mly, And my baby s^Dwings like a boxer,^A And sends her r^Eight hooks under my ch^F#min, She crys like a b^Daby,(She crys like a ba^Aby) And she ^Ewears me just like a rin^F#mg, crys like a ^Dbaby,(crys like a ^Ababy) And she we^Ears me just like a ri^Dng.

[Intro Chords x2] Verse 3:

^EmI learned how to swagger, I learnd how to hold you while your body b^Gurned,

I learned how to compromise,

While this world went hurrciane turn, ^Em We fell asleep most nights, With eachothers blood on our tongues, ^G

My love,

If you ever just had en^Dough.

Chorus:

But It's just the b^Emlues, Mary the bl^Cues swirl it ar^Gound my head like your d^Dreams ignoring these sh^Emoes, I'm somewhere ov^Cer the rainbow for ^Gyou. ^D

But It's just the b^Emlues, Mary the bl^Cues swirl it ar^Gound my head like your d^Dreams ignoring these sh^Emoes, I'm somewhere ov^Cer the rainbow for y^Gou. ^D
