  INTRO:

  Am     Dm9   E+

  

  Am

  Almost blue 

         Bm7-5 E7         Am

  Almost doing things we     used to do 

            Bm7 -5               C            F

  There's a girl here and she's        almost you 

  E       Dm

        Almost 

  Am      Adim    

  All the things that your eyes once promised

  C       Bb6       A

      I see in hers too

                    Dm       Bm7-5    E+

  Now your eyes are red from cry   -  ing 

  

  Am    B7   Am

      Almost blue 

  

  F             Bm7-5           C       C#dim

  Flirting with this disaster became me 

  Dm              Bm7-5           E

      It named me as the fool who only aimed to be 

  

  Am

  Almost blue 

              Bm7-5    E7      Am

  It's almost touching it will     almost do 

            Bm7-5             C          F    E     Dm

  There's a part of me that's     always true.....always 

  Am                  Adim                     C          Bb6    A

  Not all good things come to an end now it is     only a chosen few 

                 Dm         Bm7-5   E+

  I've seen such an unhappy cou  -  ple 

  

  Am

  Almost me 

  Bm7-5

  Almost you 

         Am

  Almost blue
