Key:
Introduction:
Em F
I've got the worried blues,
Em
And I don't know what to do.
F D
It seems my dreams
G
Have been tarnished by events.
G
And I think of you
F
and I hope that we aren't done.
Em
You're the one I need
D G
To get me through a lonely lifetime.
G
Some of the things they said
F
Well, they might have been true
Em D G
But I really don't appreciate it so much.
(Strike the G chord like 7 or 8 times at the end)
C Em
Just yesterday I had so much to say.
F D
Seemed like people wanted to listen.
Em G2
But now today nobody wants to have a thing to do with me~~~.
(Strike G2 chord throughout the "me.")
G
And I'm so sad.
F
Everything has turned out bad.
Em
I tried so hard,
D G
But goofed up somehow.
G
I just want you to know
F
I didn't mean no harm on purpose.
D Em
But they turned it into a circus
G
Just to put me down
G
But I'm still around.
F
Maybe I'll have another chance.
D Em
To turn the tables
G
And be a hero in the end
(Strike the G chord like 7 or 8 times at the end)
C Em
Just yesterday I had so much to say.
F D
Seemed like people wanted to listen.
Em G2
But now today nobody wants to have a thing to do with me~~~.
(Strike G2 chord throughout the "me.")
Em
And so I'm singin'
F
The 1989 blues.
Em D
But I'm lookin' forward to:
G
A better future for me and you.
Em
And now comes,
F
The end of this song.
Em D
Some of the things I did might have been wrong
G Em
But it's only because I was out of my mind.
G2 F G
The 1989 Blues
