Standard (EADGBE)

 As I stand by your flame,

 I get burned once again

 Feelin' low down, I'm blue

 As I sit, by the fire,

 of your warm desire

 I've got the blues, for you, yeah

Every night you've been away,

 I've sat down and I have prayed

 That you're safe in the arms of a guy,

 who will bring you alive

 Won't drag you down with abuse

Break

 In the silk sheet of time,

 I will find peace of mind

 Love is a bed full of blues

 And I've got the blues

 And I've got the blues

 And I'll bust my brains out for you

 And I'll tear my hair out

 I'm gonna tear my hair out just for you

If you don't believe what I'm singing

At three o'clock in the morning, babe, well

 I'm singing my song for you . .
