D      G             D
As I stand by your flame
       Em           C
I get burned once again
G            D        C    G  D
Feeling low down and blue

As I sit by the fire
Of your warm desire
I got the blues for you, yeah

A                         D
Every night you've been away
A                       D
I've sat down, I have prayed
             C           G         D
That you're safe in the arms of a guy
           Em        C
Who will bring you alive
G               D          C    G
Won't drag you down with abuse, oh

D       G             D
In the silk sheet of time
        Em            C
I will find peace of mind
G          D            C  G
Love is a bed full of blues

          D                 C   G
And I've got the blues for you
          D                 C   G
And I've got the blues for you
          D                      C   G
And I've bust my brains out for you
           D
And I'll tear my hair out
           C                         G
I'm gonna tear my hair out just for you
        D
If you don't believe what I'm saying
     C
At three o' clock in the morning, babe
                      G
Well, I'm singing my song for you.
