 A  C#m  D (2 times) 

E|-----| Verse: 1

E
 Don't wish it away 
       C#m             D       A   D  A  D  A  D
 Don't look at it like it's forever 
    A            E                   G#m
 Between you and me I could honestly say 
      D                   A     D  A  D  A  D
 That things can only get better
     A          E
 And while I'm away 
 G#7                    C#m
 Dust out the demons inside 
E7/B             A                      E
 And it won't be long before you and me run 
                      F#m   D         E   F#m7
 To the place in our hearts where we hide 

E|-----Chor| us:

E7/G#  A                     E/G#        D
 And I guess that's why they call it the blues 
            A              E               D
 Time on my hands could be time spent with you 
 A             E                     F#m
 Laughing like children, living like lovers 
 A/C#         D                  B/D#
 Rolling like thunder under the covers 
       D                     D/E         A    C#m  D
 And I guess that's why they call it the blues 

E|-----| Verse: 2

E
 Just stare into space 
 C#m         D           A   D  A  D  A  D
 Picture my face in your hands 
 A             E                   G#m
 Live for each second without hesitation, 
     D                     A  D  A  D  A  D
 and never forget I'm your man 
 A           E
 Wait on me girl 
 G#7                     C#m
 Cry in the night if it helps 
E7/B            A                  E
 But more than e_ver I simply love you 
              F#m  D       E   F#m7
 More than I love__life itself

 Time on my hands could be time spent with you 
 A             E                     F#m
 Laughing like children, living like lovers 
 A/C#         D                  B/D#
 Rolling like thunder under the covers 
       D                     D/E         A    C#m  D
 And I guess that's why they call it the blues
