Chords

F#
What's the story, Mr. Blue

Did she pull the rug from under you Did she chop your dreams up two by two

   C#
And kick them out the door

F#
I could sympathize you, son

But pity words stick to my tongue And sorry words have all been sung

   C#
So many times before

B       F#
Oh, Mr. Blue, you blew your chances long ago

B       F#
Oh, Mr. Blue, you're through

     B               A      F#
Quit acting like you didn't know

F#
Hang on one more day or two

Then I promise I'll be laying you Odds that she's found someone new

          C#
While you stand around and rust

F#
She don't need no part-time man

With no part-time answer understand She don't want an hour's fall of sand

       C#
For a lifetime full of dust

B        F#
Oh, Mr. Blue, you blew your chances long ago

B       F#
Oh, Mr. Blue, you're through

     B                A     F#
Quit acting like you didn't know

F#
Mr. Blue, you missed the shot

Didn't turn out quite the way you thought It would, I'll bet, cause you got caught

                   C#
Out playing Donald Juan

F#
She's got polish, she's got class

And someday when on the street you pass her house You'll wonder why the grass

                     C#
Looks greener on her lawn

B        F#
Oh, Mr. Blue, you blew your chances long ago

B       F#
Oh, Mr. Blue, you're through

     B               A     F#
Quit acting like it isn't so
