[Verse 1]
G D7
I'd been workin' at forgettin' since you said goodbye
G
Lookin' for some good times the best money can buy
C
But it's a bad investment there's no long term dividends
A7 D D7
You can't buy happiness or heal a heart that just won't mend
[Pre-chorus]
G D7
I never thought that I'd be missin' you this way
B7
I should've paid you more attention but now it's too late
C G
You can buy a night out on the town you can buy a love boat cruise
D G
But you can't buy your way out of the blues
[Chorus]
C G
No you can't buy your way out of the blues
A7 D D7
You can spend your fool self silly but your money's all you lose
G C
Love luck just can't be bought and paid for and that's the truth
D G
No you can't buy your way out of the blues
[Solo]

G D7
My pocketbook is empty but I'm still feelin' bad
G
I might as well admit it you're the last good time I had
C
It's been a high priced lesson I can't justify the cost
A7 D D7
I tried buyin' off your memory but it's all in vain because
[Pre-chorus]
G D7
I never thought that I'd be missin' you this way
B7
I should've paid you more attention but now it's too late
C G
You can buy a night out on the town you can buy a love boat cruise
D G
But you can't buy your way out of the blues
[Chorus]
C G
No you can't buy your way out of the blues
A7 D D7
You can spend your fool self silly but your money's all you lose
G C
Love luck just can't be bought and paid for and that's the truth
D G
No you can't buy your way out of the blues
[Outro]
D7 G C
Love luck just can't be bought and paid for and that's the truth
D G
No you can't buy your way out of the blues
