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                                 Esus  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
