Have I got news for you

I’m singing the blues to you

Maybe I would change it, but I can't

Bm E
But if you could
A D
Wash away my sins I’ve been so good

Weep beside my willows
Bm E
Please don’t act this way just ‘cause you can

Baby turn the stone

Carve our names in trees

Rest your case in my embrace

We’re not statues just because we stand
