G#m7b5
I've been willing to bet
You ain't got nothin' to lose
D#m7b5
I ain't figured out yet
How you've been walking in my shoes
Somebody tell me how to
Talk to you
PRE CHORUS
Ain't it funny, you might even
Catch the blues
G#m7b5
I've been willing to bet
You ain't got nothing to say
D#m7b5
I ain't figured out yet
How i've been getting in your way
Somebody tell me how to
Play for you
PRE CHORUS
Ain't it funny, you might even
Catch the blues
Living in a world of pain
I've been living in a world of pain
Without you making the difference, oh i've been going insane
But i can't go on without calling out your name
SOLO = VERSE + PRE CH.

Where you've been pointed me to go
Somebody tell me how to
Get to you
PRE CHORUS
Ain't it funny, you might even
Catch the blues
Living in a world of pain
I've been living in a world of pain
Without you making the difference, oh i've been going insane
But i can't go on without calling out your name
