Verse 1
If I[E] cannot be so happy [A]with out you my [E]dear,
If I cannot hold you close evr'y [F#7]second that you're[B] here,
You must[A] know I can't go[E] on.
Every [A]time I sing my [E]song.
If I cannot have your [F#7]love I'll[B] sing the [E]blues.
Verse 2
Every [E]time I'm feeling low and far [A]away.[E]
All the time I think of you, every[F#7] second of the[B] day.
And you[A] know you hurt my[E] pride,
But I'd[A] rather be by your [E]side.
If I cannot have your[F#7] love I'll [B]sing the[E] blues.
Chorus 1
Sing the[B] blues all my life. I got [A]trouble I got [E]strife.
How can a man expect to be so [B]free.
To [A]travel this so lonely [E]road and to[A] carry this heavy [E]load,
Is becoming far[F#m] too much,[B] too much for[E] me.
Verse 3
If I [E]cannot be so happy[A] then I'm gonna be on my [E]way.
The many nights I needed your love it[F#7] never worked out that [B]way.
For I[A] must have my [E]babe,
For I'm [A]feeling extremely [E]sad.
If I cannot have [F#m]your love I'm gonna [B]play the [E]blues.
(Solo)
Chorus 2
Sing the[B] blues all my life. I got [A]trouble I got [E]strife.
How can a man expect to be so[B] free.
To [A]travel this so lonely [E]road and to [A]carry this heavy [E]load,
Is becoming far [F#m]too much, [B]too much for [E]me.
Yes I'd [E]rather have your [F#m]love than [B]singing the [E]blues.
Yes I'd [E]rather have your [A]love baby than sing the [E]blues.
