Blue Period
by The Smithereens


Verse 1:

D MajorD
Blue period, black comedy
G+G   A augmentedA     D MajorD
Such a joke I've played on me
D MajorD
I let you go
D MajorD
And now I know
G+G    A augmentedA D MajorD
A augmentedA world of uncertainty

Bridge:

G+G   A augmentedA        D MajorD
Now I think about the days
G+G   A augmentedA        D MajorD
When I let you down in so many ways
G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD
That's the time I want to cry
D MajorD    FF       E minorEm
And the time I wonder why
E minorEm  A augmentedA
And pray

Chorus:

D MajorD
My apathy is tragedy
G+G    A augmentedA    D MajorD
I'm content to stay inside
D MajorD
This emptiness is killing me
G+G   A augmentedA     D MajorD
I can run but I can't hide

Verse 3:
G+G    A augmentedA      D MajorD
And you loved me all along
G+G   A augmentedA       D MajorD
When I always did you wrong
G+G     A augmentedA      D MajorD
That's the time I can't forget
D MajorD   FF       E minorEm
And it fills me with regret
A augmentedA
Always

D MajorD  G+G A augmentedA D MajorD  G+G  A augmentedA D MajorD

Bridge:

G+G          A augmentedA
When you think that you have won
G+G     A augmentedA  D MajorD   A augmentedA     G+G
Then your heartache's just begun

Verse 4:

D MajorD
Blue period, black comedy
G+G    A augmentedA     D MajorD
Love's a clown, now laugh my way
D MajorD
I think of you
D MajorD         G+G    A augmentedA     D MajorD
Much more than I'd ever be willing to say


Bridge:

G+G   A augmentedA       D MajorD
Now I don't want to pretend
G+G   A augmentedA    D MajorD
I was glad to see us ending this way
G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD
That's the time I want to cry
D MajorD    FF       E minorEm
And the time I wonder why
E minorEm A augmentedA
And pray

Outro:

D MajorD              G+G    A augmentedA
Blue period, I'm looking for someone who
A augmentedA D MajorD     FF    E minorEm      A augmentedA   D MajorD
Is just like you, to help end this blue period
