[Verse 1]
         G                               D7
I'd been workin' at forgettin' since you said goodbye
                                     G
Lookin' for some good times the best money can buy
                                     C
But it's a bad investment there's no long term dividends
          A7                      D                     D7
You can't buy happiness or heal a heart that just won't mend

[Pre-chorus]
        G                                    D7
I never thought that I'd be missin' you this way
                                        B7
I should've paid you more attention but now it's too late
        C                                   G
You can buy a night out on the town you can buy a love boat cruise
        D                             G
But you can't buy your way out of the blues

[Chorus]
       C                             G
No you can't buy your way out of the blues
        A7                                  D               D7
You can spend your fool self silly but your money's all you lose
               G                                           C
Love luck just can't be bought and paid for and that's the truth
       D                             G
No you can't buy your way out of the blues

   G                                 D7
My pocketbook is empty but I'm still feelin' bad
                                    G
I might as well admit it you're the last good time I had
                                       C
It's been a high priced lesson I can't justify the cost
        A7                              D             D7
I tried buyin' off your memory but it's all in vain because

[Pre-chorus]
        G                                    D7
I never thought that I'd be missin' you this way
                                        B7
I should've paid you more attention but now it's too late
        C                                   G
You can buy a night out on the town you can buy a love boat cruise
        D                             G
But you can't buy your way out of the blues

[Chorus]
       C                             G
No you can't buy your way out of the blues
        A7                                  D               D7
You can spend your fool self silly but your money's all you lose
               G                                           C
Love luck just can't be bought and paid for and that's the truth
       D                             G
No you can't buy your way out of the blues

[Outro]
D7             G                                           C
Love luck just can't be bought and paid for and that's the truth
       D                             G
No you can't buy your way out of the blues
