[Verse 1]
G
Watching that clock
G
Tic-toc'ing on by
G
Had to talk myself
G
Out of up and quitting outright
Am
But I heard that we were working late
D
I called my baby on my next break
G
She was a hot mess
G
She had a bad day
G
She took a deep breath
Am
Next thing she had to say
D
Was honey I want you

[Chorus]
           Cadd9
Baby's blue
         G
Yeah she needs me by her side
    C
So blue
      D
I can hear the tears in her eyes
              Em
Lord knows I need this job
        B
There's bills to pay
       C/E                  A
But I'd walk away if I had to
Am                G
Mm, baby's blue

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
G
Finally off work
G
Crank up my pick-up
G
Drive off like a madman
G
Cause she needs my love
Am
Like a songbird needs a tune
D
I'll tell you just what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna
G
Wrap her up tight
G
Kiss the tears out of her eyes
G
Man I swear
G
If I hit another red light
Am
I'm gonna drive on through
D
I'm gonna drive on through cause..

[Chorus]
           Cadd9
Baby's blue
           G
Yeah she needs me by her side
       C
So blue
       D
I can hear the tears in her eyes
               Em
Lord knows I need that job
        B
There's bills to pay
        C/E                A
But I'd walk away if I had to
Am
Mm, baby's blue

[Bridge]
        Am
Oh, the kind of fire my baby's got
         D
Always passed the point of red hot

[Chorus]
        C
It's blue
          G
Cause she needs me by her side
      C
So blue
       D
I can hear the tears in her eyes
             Em
Lord knows I need that job
               B
Cause there's bills to pay
         C/E                A
But I'd walk away if I had to
Am
Mm, baby's blue
G
My baby's blue
