[D]
Now it's just you and me, [G] my [D] blue friend.
And you say that it's you that she's thinking [G] of, and I [F#] refuse to [D] understand.
But if it's you that she's thinking of, [G] I'll take my broken heart, my [F#] man.
Well, [G] it's my [F#m] turn to talk, [Am] your [D] turn to sing, [G] your [A] turn to [C] buy, my [Bm] turn to [G] drink, your [A] turn to cry, [Am] my [D] turn to [G]
sing.
Down in the [Em] blue [G] jail, [A] down in the [D] blue jail.
Now I made up my [G] mind, I made [D] my mistake.
And I know that she cries for [G] you, and she's [F#] barely awake.
[D] But she's gonna mend your [G] mind, well I hope [F#] it don't break.
[G] Now it's my [A] turn to [Am] talk, your turn to [D] [G] think, your turn [A] to [C] buy, my [Bm] turn to [G] drink, your turn [A] to [C] cry, my [G] turn to sing.

Down in [Em] the blue jail.
We can watch our troubles rise like smoke into the air and drift up [D] to the ceiling.
Down in the blue [Em] jail.
You can feel just like a boy or a man, the next minute you can find [D] yourself kneeling.
Down in the [F#] blue jail.
[C#m] The [F#m] most bit of love in the daylights right [F#] out of her ear, the [Bm] small hours.
Down in the [Em] blue jail.
You say that your love lasts forever, well you know tonight is [A] just as
[D] good.
Still I want her right [G] now, not any minute, [Em] not a [D] day.
Whatever's next tonight, [G] I want her [F#] anyway.
[D] I suppose she never said [G] to you, you were [F#] just in the way.
[G] Now it's my turn [F#m] to talk, [Am] your turn [D] to think, [G] your turn [A] to buy, [C] my [Bm] turn to drink, [G] your [A] turn to cry, [C] my [D] turn to [G] sing.
