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
