    Al - most-----  blue,    almost doing things we... used to-----  do,

There's a girl here, and she's...  almost you,   ...al - most!

    All the things that your eyes once promised,     I see in hers too,
A/G               Dm   Dm/C      Bm7b5  Eaug   Am      B7/D#  Am
Now your eyes are red...     from cry - ing,       al - most blue!

    Flirting with this disaster be - came me,
Dm             Bm7b5             F   Faug     E7
    It named me as the fool who only aimed to be...


Am     Am(maj7)/G#      Am/G              Bm7b5   E7     Am    Am(maj7)/G#    Am/G
    Al - most----  blue,    it's almost touching, it will... al - most---  do,
         Bm7b5        E7      C           F     Bm7b5  E7
There's a part of me that's...   always true.....al - ways,

    Not all good things come to an end, now it is only...    a chosen few,
Gdim               Dm      Dm/C  Bm7b5  Eaug
  I have seen such an un - happy  cou - ple,
Am              Bm7b5               Am         Am9
     Almost me, almost you, almost blue----!
