D
Blue period, black comedy
G      A         D
Such a joke I've played on me
D
I let you go
D
And now I know
G       A  D
A world of uncertainty


[Bridge]

G     A               D
Now I think about the days
G      A               D
When I let you down in so many ways
G          A              D
That's the time I want to cry
D       F             Em
And the time I wonder why
Em    A
And pray

[Chorus]

D
My apathy is tragedy
G       A       D
I'm content to stay inside
D
This emptiness is killing me
G     A         D
I can run but I can't hide

[Verse 3]
G       A            D
And you loved me all along
G      A              D
When I always did you wrong
G          A            D
That's the time I can't forget
D      F             Em
And it fills me with regret
A
Always

D    G  A  D   G   A  D

[Bridge]

G                   A
When you think that you have won
G         A    D      A          G
Then your heartache's just begun

[Verse 4]

D
Blue period, black comedy
G        A          D
Love's a clown, now laugh my way
D
I think of you
D                  G       A          D
Much more than I'd ever be willing to say


[Bridge]

G     A             D
Now I don't want to pretend
G     A       D
I was glad to see us ending this way
G          A              D
That's the time I want to cry
D       F             Em
And the time I wonder why
Em  A
And pray

[Outro]

D                            G       A
Blue period, I'm looking for someone who
A  D         F       Em            A     D
Is just like you, to help end this blue period
