[Verse 1]
Should you aCwake, dear, Bbfrom your beauty sleep
To find your Groom swimming in Fblue and green
Should you aCwake to feel Bblike you never slept
And feel Gso very old
Well, don't you Ffeel alone
[Chorus 1]
I'm kind of Emblue
FBlue for you again
I guess I'm a Emfool
At least DI'm not innocent
But what Gto do?
WhaFtever I Bbtouch turns Gblue
[Verse 2]
And should you Cfind yourself lost
But in no Bbneed of sympathy
GCalm down to the beach and watch the Fwaves come in
I dream the ocCean was in my house
I feel the Bbsurf against my skin
I Gjust can't keep the waves from dragging me Fdown
[Chorus 2]
But when you saEmy ooh
Baby, you're Fmy best friend
Then I Emlose
I lose my Dcommon sense
I'm Gblue
FI'm kind of Bbblue, it's the Gtruth
[Verse 3]
Should you aCwake, dear, Bbfrom your beauty sleep
To find your Groom swimming in Fblue and green
Should you aCwake to feel Bblike you never slept
And feel Gso very old
Well, don't you Ffeel alone
[Chorus 3]
I'm kind of Emblue
Blue for you Fagain
I guess I'm a Emfool
At least I'm not Dinnocent
I may be Gblue
FBut don't you Bblet me make you Gblue too

[Intro]

C Bb G F

[Verse 1]

C Bb

Should you awake, dear, from your beauty sleep

G F

To find your room swimming in blue and green

C Bb

Should you awake to feel like you never slept

And feel so very old

Well, don't you feel alone

[Chorus 1]

I'm kind of blue

Blue for you again

I guess I'm a fool

At least I'm not innocent

But what to do?

F Bb G

Whatever I touch turns blue

[Verse 2]

And should you find yourself lost

But in no need of sympathy

G F

Calm down to the beach and watch the waves come in

I dream the ocean was in my house

I feel the surf against my skin

G F

I just can't keep the waves from dragging me down

[Chorus 2]

But when you say ooh

Baby, you're my best friend

Then I lose

I lose my common sense

I'm blue

F Bb G

I'm kind of blue, it's the truth

[Verse 3]

C Bb

Should you awake, dear, from your beauty sleep

G F

To find your room swimming in blue and green

C Bb

Should you awake to feel like you never slept

And feel so very old

Well, don't you feel alone

[Chorus 3]

I'm kind of blue

Blue for you again

I guess I'm a fool

At least I'm not innocent

I may be blue

F Bb G

But don't you let me make you blue too

[Outro]

C Bb G F
