G
Watching that clock
Tic-toc'ing on by
Had to talk myself
Out of up and quitting outright
Am
But I heard that we were working late
D
I called my baby on my next break
G
She was a hot mess
She had a bad day
She took a deep breath
                       Am
Next thing she had to say
                  D
Was honey I want you

Chorus:
         C
Baby's blue
          G
Yeah she needs me by her side
     C
So blue
       D
I can hear the tears in her eyes
              Em
Lord knows I need this job
         B/D#
There's bills to pay
        A#/D                A
But I'd walk away if I had to
Am D         G
Mm, baby's blue

Finally off work
Crank up my pick-up
Drive off like a madman
'Cause she needs my love
Like a songbird needs a tune
I'll tell you just what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna
Wrap her up tight
Kiss the tears out of her eyes
Man I swear
If I hit another red light
I'm gonna drive on through
I'm gonna drive on through 'cause

Chorus:
Baby's blue
Yeah she needs me by her side
So blue
I can hear the tears in her eyes
Lord knows I need that job
There's bills to pay
But I'd walk away if I had to
Mm, baby's blue

Oh, the kind of fire my baby's got
Always passed the point of red hot
It's blue
'Cause she needs me by her side
So blue
I can hear the tears in her eyes
Lord knows I need that job
'Cause there's bills to pay
But I'd walk away if I had to
Mm, baby's blue
My baby's blue
