Lighter Shade Of Blue

Key: C

Introduction:

     E/G#                         E                                     B 
I guess it finally dawned on me you've gone
     E/G#                     E                           B 
Well maybe I can make it on my own
     D                           D2                             B 
I don't stay up wonderin' if you'll call
     D                               E                                     F# 
And some nights I don't dream of you at all
     E/G#                           E                             B 
Your memory's still hurtin' deep inside
     E/G#                                       E                               B 
That's something I'm still learning how to hide
     D                                     D2                                 B 
Though this heart of mine has lost an ache or two
     D                                     F#                           B 
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue
       E/G#                             E 
Lookin' down the line sometimes
     B7                           B 
I think I see a change
     F#                                                               B 
But then I think again and think of you
     E/G#                                               E 
Here and there I've turned a stone
                 B                                 E 
But the mountain hasn't moved
     E                               F#                               B 
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue
     E/G#                             E                             B 
I'm still afraid of turning out the light
     E/G#                         E                                       B 
And it takes all my strength to face the night
     D                               D2                               B 
Cause that's the time I face the bitter truth
     D                             F#                                 B 
I've only turned a lighter shade of blue
(Repeat Chorus).
