[Verse 1]
I told myself i needed the blues
Like i need a loaded pistol at my hip
But the blues help me to get over you
And now i´m seeing blue skies up ahead

[Chorus 1]
Sometimes the blues are necessary
Though they´re quite a load to carry
When the nights are long and weary
And your heart is torn in two

[Chorus 2]
I couldn´t take what you were giving
I thought that i was tired of living
Life gets better once you´re past the blues

[Verse 2]
I´m not recommending the blues
I´m just saying how they work for me
Anyway what is there left to lose
Except what little´s left of sanity

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
