FTangled Cup in blue

/ G – F / (x4)

She was married when we first meet

Soon to be divorced

I helped her out of a jam I guess

- But I used a little too much force

We drove that car as far as we could

Abandoned it out West

Splitting up on a dark sad night

- Both agreeing it was best

She turned around to look at me

As I was walkin away

Sayin over her shoulder

"We'll meet again someday on the avenue"

Tangled up in blue.

I had a job in Santa Fe

Working in an old hotel

But I never did like it all that much

- And one day the ax just fell

So I drifted down to New Orleans

Lucky not to be destroyed

Where I got me a job on a fishin boat

- Right outside of Delacroix

But all the while I was alone

The past was close behind

I seen a lot of women

But she never escaped my mind and I just grew

Tangled up in blue.

She was working in a topless place

And I stopped in for a beer

I just kept looking at the side of her face

- In the spotlight so clear

And later on when the crowd thinned out

I was just about to do the same

She was standing there right beside my chair

- She said "Don't tell me let me guess your name"

I muttered something underneath my breath

She studied the lines on my face

I must admit I felt a little uneasy

When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoes

Tangled up in blue.

I lived with them on Montague Street

In a basement down the stairs

There was music in the cafes at night

- And revolution in the air

Then he started into dealing with slaves

And something inside of him died

She had to sell everything she owned

- And froze up inside

And when it all came crashing down

I became withdrawn

The only thing I knew how to do

Was keep on keeping on like a bird that flew

Tangled up in blue.

So now I'm going on back again

I got to get her somehow

All the faces we used to know

- They're an illusion to me now

Some are mathematicians

Some are truck driver's wives

Don't know how it all got started

- I don't what they're doing with their lives

But me I'm still on the road

Heading for another joint

We always did feel the same

We just saw it from a different point of view

Tangled up in Blue.
