Verse 1 =======
         F#m7
I read a lot nowadays

     G#m7 
Much more than before you left me

         A                 Am
High and dry in a loveless land 

     E           A          E       RIFF1
With nothing but time on my hands
Verse 2 =======
         F#m7              F#m/C#
I read a lot not just maga-zines

    G#m7               G#m/Eb
But other more serious things 

                      A             Am
To get me through the day night-time too 

       E                    A                   E
Whilst wondering how in the world to go on with-out you
Refrain =======
Bm     A         D               A
Lonely isn't the word for me now

D    A            G        E
Blue doesn't desc-ribe it somehow
Inst ====
F#m7   F#m/C#   G#m7   G#m/Eb   A   Am  E2  A   
Blue         's not the word for me now
E A E A E A E A E A E Verse 3 =======
         F#m7       F#m/C#
I read a lot I can't   put it down

      G#m7       G#m/Eb
While others are painting the town 

                 A                  Am
You'll find me in a world of fantas-y 

      E        A       E2  E
Popul-ation one that's me
Out ===
          Bm
So if you ask me how I stop

                   C7
Contemplating what I now have not

         F#m7
I'll rep-ly 

         E
I read a lot
