D                           G7
I've been down hearted, baby

I've been down hearted, baby

You know our love is nothing but the blues

Baby, how blue can you get?

You're evil when I'm with you, baby
               D
And you are jealous when we're apart

I said, you're evil, you're so evil when I'm with you, baby

How blue can you get, baby

The answer is right here in my heart

(pause)I bought you a ten dollar dinner
D C D
(pause)And you said, "Thanks for the snack"
D C D
(pause)I let you live in my penthouse
D C D
(pause)You said, "It was just a shack"
D C D
(pause)I gave you seven children

And now you wanna give 'em back
                     G7
'Cause I've been down hearted, baby
D
Ever since the day we met
A                                    G7
I said, our love is nothing but the blues
D
Baby, how blue can you get?
