    F
The more you criticize me
    A#
the more I know I'm right
   A#                  F
I just cant stop this need for you
   D#        A#         C7
to help me through the night
      F
and though you treat me badly
A#
treat me like a slave
      A#             F
sure no one would believe it
    D#        A#   C7
the way that you behave

Chorus:
    A#
Sometimes I dare to wonder
          C
is there life after you
      A#
could my heart stand the loneliness
       C
could my head see it through
and I say

I thought that we were perfect
The best there'd ever been
I would be your gypsy king
And you would be my queen
But real life just ain't like that
And so before to long
My sweet and happy melody
Became a sadder song

And though the tune is different
That old familiar blues
There is nothing I would change in us
There is nothing I could lose
And I say oh,oh,oh,oh

And though the tune is different
That old familiar blues
There is nothing I would change in us
There is nothing I could lose

And I say oh,oh,oh,oh

That old familiar blues
