Standard (EADGBE)

The more you criticize me

the more I know I'm right

I just cant stop this need for you

to help me through the night

and though you treat me badly

treat me like a slave

sure no one would believe it

the way that you behave

Sometimes I dare to wonder

is there life after you

could my heart stand the loneliness

could my head see it through

and I say

oo oo oo oo

oo oo oo oo oo

oo oo oo oo

oo oo oo oo oo

I thought that we were perfect

the best there's 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

oo oo oo oo

oo oo oo oo oo

oo oo oo oo

oo oo oo oo oo

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

oo oo oo oo

oo oo oo oo oo

oo oo oo oo

oo oo oo oo oo etc.
