The Only Thing She Left Me chords - Eleven Hundred Springs

Words and music by Matt Hillyer

Verse:
E
I woke up this mornin to an empty house,
E                                 B7
And empty's just what I mean,
B7
My baby must've left in the middle of the night,
E                                          B7
She really stripped the place clean,
E
Well I don't know how I slept through it all,
E                                        A
It must've been one hell of a snooze,
E                         B7                    E
The only thing she left me was the blues

Verse:
E
She took my favorite chair, she left the cupboards bear,
E                                      B7
She even took our old dog Gus,
B7
The only thing that lingered in the air,
B7                             E
Was a sad memory of us,
E
She took my VCR, She even took my guitar,
E                                      A
As she walked on out the door,
E
She took the kitchen table but she still was able,
B7                               E
To leave the bills on the floor.

Bridge:
E                        A                                E
She must've had strong arms to tote it all out,
E                       A                                F#                         B7
She must've had soft footsteps cause I didn't wake up and find out

Reprise:
E
She took my baseball bat, she took my cowboy hat,
E                                  A
My boots and all of my shoes,
E                          B7                     E
The only thing she left me was the blues

Verse:
E 
Now I'm lyin here naked on my living room floor,
E                                             B7
Cause she run off with all of my clothes,
B7
I'd like to listen to a record on my old turntable
B7                            E
She run off with all of those,
E
The sound of silence as I sit here alone,
E                                                 A
Lets me know it's gonna be a long day,
E                               
What a stroke of bad luck she took my pick-up truck,
B7                E
To haul it all away

Verse:
E
Now I wish I knew just where she went,
E                                               B7
But she didn't leave a number to call,
B7
I wish I knew what time it was,
B7                                       E
She took the clock off of the wall,
E
But one thing's clear as I'm sittin here,
E                               A
Searchin for all of the clues
E                          B7                   E
The only thing she left me was the blues

Repeat Bridge:

Reprise:
E
I'd like to call someone but she took the phone,
E                                       A
Now ain't nobody heard the news,
E                         B7                     E
The only thing she left me was the blues
