D
He left you - she left me 
D
Drowning in this misery 
A7
We stopped living 
A7                 D
When they said goodbye
D
We've been faithful to these blues 
D
But I've had enough - now how about you 
A7
Don't you think we've earned the right 
A7                            D
To go cheating on the blues tonight

[Chorus]
G
Cheating on the blues tonight 
D
Let's go out and do it right 
A7
Throw it into overdrive 
A7                  D
And get on down the road
G
Shake it till the break of dawn 
D
Party till the heartache's gone 
A7
We'll have us a real good time 
A7                      D
Cheating on the blues tonight

[Verse]
D
Pick you up at half past eight 
D
You can bet I won't be late 
D    A7                               D
With any luck we'll make the dance by nine 
D
We won't talk about the past
D
Let old memories die at last 
A7
Have some fun - keep it light 
A7                      D
Cheating on the blues tonight

[Chorus]
G
Cheating on the blues tonight 
D
Let's go out and do it right 
A7
Throw it into overdrive 
A7                  D
And get on down the road
G
Shake it till the break of dawn 
D
Party till the heartache's gone 
A7
We'll have us a real good time
A7                      D
Cheating on the blues tonight

[Chorus]
G
Cheating on the blues tonight 
D
Let's go out and do it right 
A7
Throw it into overdrive 
A7                  D
And get on down the road
G
Shake it till the break of dawn 
D
Party till the heartache's gone 
A7
We'll have us a real good time 
A7                      D
Cheating on the blues tonight
