E
She never gave a reason for leaving
                                        
Just packed her things and said goodbye
E
I guess she just got tired of believing
                                      E Esus E Esus E
In the dreams of a dreamer such as I
E
Usually I m not left in this position

Most the time it's me who says goodbye
A
You never dropped a hint that you're going
E
Naturally it came as a surprise
B            A                E   Esus E
Sittin  in a run down dive in Austin
B            A                 E  Esus E
Anticipating pain from losing you
        A
Well it hasn't hit me yet
C#m
It'll be here you can bet
    A
I'm sitting here
B                E  E Esus  E  Esus E
Waitin  on the blues
E  
I hate to get advice when I don't ask it

It's what I m getting here tonight
E
The old man says cause I'm young I'm foolish
E                                 E Sus  E  Esus  E
Since he's old I guess he must be right
E                                      
Said I should try to forget about you
                                       
I know that's not left for me to choose
A          
Who knows you might come back but until you do
E
Guess I'll sit here waitin' on the blues
B            A                E    E Esus
Sittin  in a run-down dive in Austin
B                      A                E 
This old man s tellin  me that I can't lose
      A
But I guess he s wrong
                C#m
Cause I already lost you
       A
Oh I'm sitting here
B              E   E Esus E Esus E
Waitin  on the blues

[Solo]
A                     A        E 
Sittin  in a run-down dive in Austin
B                     A               E   ESus E
You left me here with nothing left to lose
      A
This delayed misery
              C#m
You know it s damn near killing me
              A        B               C#m 
I can spend a lifetime waiting on the blues
              A        B              E   Esus  E Esus E
I can spend a lifetime waiting on the blues
