[C] [Gm]
Somebody asked me why I live the blues.
I said the [C] blues is all around [Gm] me.
I just find something I can use.
[Cm]
And I feel it running through me.
And I give it my heart [Gm] and soul.
I trust [C] the song I'm [Gm] singing.
Let the feeling take control.
[Eb]
I'm just trying to tell the [F] truth
every [Gm] time I sing the [C] blues.
[G] [C] [Dm] I [Gm] might think about a woman
and how she done me wrong.
[F]
[Gm] I [C] might think about some hard [F] times
[Gm] when I was barely hanging on.
[Cm]
I might think about a brother
who still can't make [Gm] his beat.
Or [C] some [Gm] fallen sister
selling it on the streets.
I'm [Eb] just trying to tell the truth
[F] every time [Gm] I sing the blues.
[Cm]
I find my inspiration
[Gm]
in tears and desperation.
[Cm]
[Eb] Sad, sad stories we [Cm] all know so well.
[Dm] There's always one more story to [Gm] tell.

[G] Here I [Fm] am another [Gm] night,
another town along the way.
Room [Bb] full of [G] people
say [Bb] they want to hear me play.
[Cm] Yes, there was some hard times.
I'm lucky [Eb] I survived.
[Gm]
It took a whole living
to make a song come [F] alive.
[Eb] I just want to tell the truth
[F] every time [Gm] I sing the blues.
[Eb] I'm just trying to tell the truth
[F] every time [Gm] I sing the blues.
