[A] [G] Should [D] you awake, [C] dear from your beauty sleep
To [A] find your room, swimming [G] in blue green
Should [D] you awake, [E] [Am] like you've never [C] slept
But feel [A] so very old, well don't [G] you feel alone
I'm [F#m] kinda blue, [G] blue for you again, I guess [F#m] I'm a fool
[E] Least I'm not innocent, but [A] what's it to
[G] Whatever [C] I touch turns [A] blue
And should [D] you find yourself lost, but in [C] no need of sympathy
[A] Come down to the beach and [G] watch the waves come
I [D] dream the ocean was in my house, I [C] feel the surf against my skin
[A] I just can't keep the waves from dragging [G] me down
[F#m] But when you say, baby [G] you're my [F#m] best friend and my least
I [E] lose my promise, but [A] yeah I'm blue
[G] [A] I'm kinda [C] blue, it's [A] true
[D] Should [C] [A]
[G] [F#m]
[G] [F#m] [Em] [A]
[D] [A] [C] [A] [D] you awake, dear [C] from your beauty sleep
To find [A] that your room, is swimming [G] in blue green
[D] Should you awake, to feel [Am] like you've never slept
But feel [A] so very old, well don't you [G] feel alone
[F#m] I'm kinda blue, blue [G] for you again, I guess [F#m] I'm a fool
Least [Em] I'm not innocent, but [A] what's it to
[G] Whatever [A] I [C] touch turns [F#m] blue
Blue [G] for you again, I guess [F#m] I'm a fool
Least [Em] I'm not [A] innocent, I may be blue
[A] But [G] don't you let [C] me make [A] you blue too
