Em          C     D           Em
When I look at you something isn't true
           C     D              Em
What am I to do? Where am I to go?
            C    D                   Em
When I find a way to take the blues away
           C     D              Em  B
What a funny day, what a funny world
B                                 Em B
And then it all just rolls on and on
                          Em B
It's like an echo echoing on

When you look at me what is it you see?
What are you to do? How are we to know?
If there is a way to chase the blues away
Tell me now, today, sooner if you can
But it still rolls on and on
Just like an echo echoing on

         Am             Dm
Take me away, take me today
           E7              Am  E7
Find me a room, find me a view
           Am             Dm
If it's to be surely you see
            E7             Am B
Used to be you, used to be me

When I look at you something isn't true
What am I to do? Where am I to go?
When I find a way to take the blues away
Tell me mow, today, sooner as you can
But it still rolls on and on
Just like an echo echoing on
