[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


Used to be so easy to fall in love again
I've found that the hard way, it's a way that leads to pain
I've found that love was more than just a game
To play and to win but to lose just the same

   So long, it was so long ago
   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
