F                    D#
La la la la la la la listen
                  A#
La la la la la la listen to me
F                    D#
I'm reminiscing, reminiscing
                    A#
And I'm missing how it used to be
F                     D#
They say when it hits you
F                      D#
You'll know that it's true
F                    D#
You'll know 'cause you feel it
D#
Ooh-ooh

Chorus:
F            D#            A#
When I held you it was the only thing
A#
Only thing
F           D#              A#
And all I knew was you were everything
A#
Everything

You are the record in the record shop
Nobody wants to buy
You are the metaphor, the metaphor
The meta for the other guy

You call when you need it
You’re nobody’s fool
You take it or leave it
Ooh ooh

Chorus

Gm    A#            D#
Don't lend me your heart
Gm     A#            D#
You'll only tear it apart
D#
Apart
D#
Apart

F
La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

Chorus:
When I held you it was the only thing
Only thing
And all I knew was you were everything
Everything
When I held you it was the only thing
Only thing
So why am I blue?
