[Verse 1]
AJust around the B7corner there's Eheartache
ADown the street that B7losers Euse
If Ayou can wade B7in through the Eteardrops
You'll Afind me at the B7Home of the EBlues
[Verse 2]
AI walk and B7cry while my Eheartbeat
Keeps Atime with the B7drag of my Eshoes
The Asun never B7shines through this Ewindow of mine
It's Adark at the B7Home of the EBlues
[Chorus]
Oh, but the Aplace is filled with the sweetest Emem'ries
B7Mem'ries so sweet that I Ecry
ADreams that I've Ahad left me Efeelin' so bad
F#7I just want to give up and lay down and B7die
[Verse 3]
ASo if you've B7just lost your Esweetheart
And it Aseems there's no B7good way to Echoose
ACome along with B7me, mis'ry Eloves company
You're Awelcome at the B7Home of the EBlues
