Some folks always seem to find the good things 
E               Bm5-/7             E7 
Other folks get mixed up with the bad

Don't ask me what I know about the good things

The blues is all I ever had

To some, the earth's a world of friendly faces 
E              Bm5-/7             E7 
For those lucky few, I'm awful glad

My world's been a string of second places

He could change this lonely life I led

When he smiled and said, "I love you, baby" 
     A7M       F#m         B7      E7 
Silly girl, I b'lieved each word he said

Guess it's time for me to say "good bye" now  
E              Bm5-/7             E7 
Didn't mean to leave you feelin' sad 
A                    Edim               E       C#m7
