[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D A Em7
I can hear the rain come down, I can listen with my heart
D A Em7
I can see with both eyes closed in the dark
G D G
Sleep will come in just a while but till it does I choose
D Bm G
To listen to the rain, it's the rhythm of the blues
[Verse 2]
D A Em7
I walk along these streets of home that once belonged to us
D A Em7
And now baby I walk alone and I am lost
G D G
In the sound of my own footsteps on the avenues
D Bm G
I guess I'm only walking to rhythm of the blues
[Bridge]
F#m Bm G A F#m Bm G A
I don't wanna hear another word spoken, I don't wanna see another tear shed
F#m Bm G A C C G
I can't seem to fix what's broken, like this record baby in my head
[Interlude]
D A Em7 Em7 D A Em7 Em7
G D G
Lonely looks as bad on me as lonely looks on you
D Bm G
And still we keep on moving to the rhythm of the blues
[Coda]
D A Em7
I want a place to call my own, where you have never been
D A Em7
I wanna look around and know you won't be coming back again
G D G
On some pretense paper-thin that I can see right through
D Bm G
You come and go baby, like the rhythm of the blues
D Bm G
You come and go baby, like the rhythm of the blues
D Bm G
You come and go baby, like the rhythm of the blues
