    Al - most blue,     almost doing things we... used  to do,
          [ch]Bm7b5[/ch]       E7       C          F     [ch]Bm7b5[/ch]  E7
There's a girl here, and she's... almost you, ...al - most!


Am      F/A  Adim                                C    Bb6          A
    All the things that your eyes once promised,    I see in hers too,
A/G               Dm   Dm/C      [ch]Bm7b5[/ch]  Eaug   Am     [ch]B7/D#[/ch]  Am
Now your eyes are red...     from cry - ing,      al - most blue!


F                 [ch]Bm7b5[/ch]                C       C#dim
    Flirting with this disaster be - came me,
Dm             [ch]Bm7b5[/ch]             F   Faug     E7
    It named me as the fool who only aimed to be...


Am     Am(maj7)     Am7               [ch]Bm7b5[/ch]   E7      Am    Am(maj7)  Am7
    Al - most blue,     it's almost touching, it will... al - most do,
         [ch]Bm7b5[/ch]        E7      C           F     Bm7b5  E7
There's a part of me that's...   always true.....al - ways,
Am          F/A          Am6       F/A             C    Bb6            A
    Not all good things come to an end, now it is only...    a chosen few,
Gdim               Dm      Dm/C  [ch]Bm7b5[/ch]  Eaug
  I have seen such an un - happy  cou - ple,
Am              [ch]Bm7b5[/ch]               Am         Am9
     Almost me, almost you, almost blue----!
