{intro} 
 

D5                 A5             E5            E5 
  I can hear the rain come down, I can listen with my heart 
D5                 A5              E5          E5 
  I can see with both eyes closed in the dark 
G5                    G5           ( D5 )  G5                 G5 
  Sleep will come in just a while but  till it does I choose 
             D5          B5                G5           G5 
  To listen to the rain, it's the rhythm of the blues 
 
I walk along these streets of home that once belonged to us 

And now baby I walk alone and I am lost 

In the sound of my own footsteps on the avenues 

I guess I'm only walking to rhythm of the blues 
 

F#5       B5          G5             A5    F#5      B5         G5           A5 
  I don't wanna hear another word spoken, I don't wanna see another tear shed 
F#5  B5           G5            A5    C5          C5           G5      G5   G5   G5 
  I can't seem to fix what's broken, like this record baby in my head

{instrumental} 
 
Lonely looks as bad on me as lonely looks on you 

And still we keep on moving to the rhythm of the blues 
 
I want a place to call my own, where you have never been 

I wanna look around and know you won't be coming back again 

On some pretense paper-thin that I can see right through 

You come and go baby, like the rhythm of the blues 

You come and go baby, like the rhythm of the blues 

You come and go baby, like the rhythm of the blues...
