♫ Verse 1:
C                 F/C
I gotta quit this habit
                           C
It's like some drug for you
E/D                         Am
You've been my sweet, sweet addict
               F                G
I've been your little white boy blue
C                        F
You've got the same obsession
            F/C        C
We ain't no cat and mouse
E/D                   Am             F
You linger on my lips like confession
             Dm            G
You laid the traps in this house

♫ Chorus:
            C
And it's no use, each way we lose
           Bb                        F
You and me at the crossroads of Blue Avenue
C
Hit and run, hearts collide here
C
True love passes through
           Bb                      F
Looks like we've got a wreck, babe
              C   F
Up on Blue Avenue
              C   C/D F
Up on Blue Avenue
          C
Blue Avenue


♫ Verse 2:
C                   F/C
Two hearts get entangled
                        C
Dirty minds, they go to town
E/D               Am
Everyone's got an angle
       F                G
Little lies get spread around
C                      F/C
Let them say what they want
                       C
You and me, we already knew
      E/D               Am
Takes more than hocus pocus, babe
   F             Dm7     G
To save you from Blue Avenue

And it's no use, each way we lose

You and me at the crossroads of Blue Avenue
C
Hit and run, hearts collide here

True love passes through

Looks like we've got a wreck, baby
