Fumblin With The Blues

{t:Fumblin' with the blues}

{st: Tom Waits}

Friday left me [E7]fumblin' with the [Am]blues

And it's hard to win when [F]you always [E]lose

Because the [Am]nightspots spend your spirit

beat your [Dm]head against the wall

two dead-ends you [E7]still got to [Am]choose

You know the bartenders they all know my name

and they catch me when I'm pulling up lame

and I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyester shaking my head

when I should be living clean in stead

You know the ladies I've been seeing off and on

well they spend your love then they're gone

you can't be loving someone who is savage and cruel

Take your love and then they leave on out of town

No they do

{c:solo}

When I'm falling in love, It's such a breeze

but it's standing up that's so hard for me

I wanna sqeeze you but I'm scared to death I'll break your back instead

You know your perfume, well it won't let me be

You know the bartenders they all know my name

and they'll catch me when I'm pulling up lame

and I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head

when I should be living clean in stead

so come on baby, let your love light shine

gotta bury me inside of your fire

cause your eyes are enough to blind me

you're like a-looking at the sun

you gotta whisper tell me I'm the one

come on and whisper tell me I'm the one

gotta whisper tell me I'm the one

come on and whisper tell me I'm the one
