(1)You sigh as the evening,
comes (4)stealing your (1)lite
You Run, in the rain,on the (2)road,
in the (5)nite
past the (1)souls in the alley
with (4)nothing to (4)lose
But You (1)can't run (5) from the (1)blues
Ch
You (1)can't run (5)
no, you can't run
no, you can't run
you can't run from the blues.
(1)As long as you run,
the (4)hurt never ceases(1)
like sand thru your fingers,
your (2)life is in (5)pieces
You can(1)run to the bottle
if(4)that's what you(4)choose
but You (1)can't run (5)from the (1)blues.

Solo
You could run to your clergy
or to someone you know
The tears of your candle-
will continue to flow
You could run to some backstreet angel
who would never refuse
But You can't run from the blues
