Verse 1:
AbmAbm BB
Out of the blue it all changed in an instant
AbmAbm
He was nineteen when she told him she was pregnant
BB
Barely out of high school, living in a small town
Neither of 'em had a job or money in the bank
BB
He got work on the factory floor
AbmAbm
Struggling to make ends meet but she adored him
BB
Always in his corner when her parents started on her, like
E MajorE AbmAbm
"He won't ever amount to that much"
BB
The baby arrived, really they tried
E MajorE AbmAbm
She said , "Let's do the best we can, a day at a time"
BB
He started staying out all night getting drunk
E MajorE
Convinced he couldn't deal with what he had and what he'd done
BB
He lost his job and that was no surprise
E MajorE AbmAbm
She said, "I can't go on watching you destroy your life
BB
You need to get it together or I'm leaving with our kid"
BB
He said, "It's probably best if you left," so she did.
AbmAbm x8
Hook:
AbmAbm BB
So when you gonna learn? (Oh ohhh ohhhhhh)

So when you gonna learn? (Oh ohhh ohhhhhh)

Verse 2:
BB
Five years later and she's living in the city
AbmAbm
And she'd severed all contact to her old life
AbmAbm BB
Her little girl's at school, she was working days
BB
Staying up late and studying through the night
BB E MajorE
Out of the blue, he called up and they talked
E MajorE AbmAbm
He said he'd got a job up north on fishing trawlers
AbmAbm BB
He hadn't touched a drink for two years, he'd been clean
BB
Plus he saved some money on the side in between
BB
He cleared his throat, made an awkward joke
AbmAbm
And asked "Maybe I could come and visit you both?
BB BB
But only if you think it's alright, I mean"
E MajorE
She said she'd think about it, the next day she agreed
Hook:
AbmAbm BB
(oh ohh ohhhhhh)
BB AbmAbm
It'll hit you hard
AbmAbm BB
Even if it hurts (Oh ohh ohhh)
E MajorE
Like it always does

So when you gonna learn? (Oh ohh ohhhh)
E MajorE

We come together and fall apart

Out of the blue
E MajorE AbmAbm
Out of the blue (mmm mmmmm)
AbmAbm
Out of the blue
BB
Out of the blue, my love
Verse 3:
AbmAbm
He got on a plane and flew across the desert
BB
Watching as the world flew by
E MajorE
It felt like he held his breath from the airport
BB
All the way to her front door the whole time
AbmAbm
He knocked soft and she opened up
BB
And they looked at each other, both dumbstruck
E MajorE
Each waiting for the other one to speak first
BB
But neither of 'em could find any words, then
AbmAbm
Out of the blue, as if on cue
BB
Trying to hold back the tears in their eyes
E MajorE
And with a voice full of cracks and a heart fit to burst
BB
She said, "Well, you took your time"
Bridge:
AbmAbm
These moments make up a lifetime
BB
Mistakes we make are not fixed in stone
E MajorE
People we love are a lifeline
BB
And none of us can do it on our own
AbmAbm
Out of the blue
BB
Out of the blue
E MajorE
Out of the blue, love saves us
BB
Out of the blue, we all learn that lesson
Hook:
AbmAbm BB
So when you gonna learn? (Oh ohhh ohhhhhh)

AbmAbm BB
Even if it hurts (Oh ohhh ohhhhhh)
E MajorE
And it always does
BB BB
So when you gonna learn? (Oh ohhh ohhhhhh)
E MajorE
Let it in your heart
BB
We come together and fall apart
E MajorE BB
Out of the blue, my love
