I've got the [Em]worried blues,[F]
And I don't know [Em]what to do.
[F]It seems my dreams[D]
Have been tarnished by [G]events.

And I think of you[G]
and I hope that we aren't done[F] .
[Em]You're the one I need
[D]To get me through a lonely [G]lifetime.

Some of the things[G] they said
Well, they might have been true[F]
[Em]But I really don't[D] appreciate it so[G] much.

(Strike the G chord like 7 or 8 times at the end)

[C]Just yesterday I had so much to say.[Em]
[F]Seemed like people wanted to listen.[D]
But now today nobody wants to[Em] have a thing to do[G2] with me~~~.

(Strike G2 chord throughout the "me.")

And I'm so sad[G] .
Everything has turned out bad.[F]
[Em]I tried so hard,
[D]But goofed up somehow.[G]

I just want you to know[G]
I didn't mean no harm on [F]purpose.
[D]But they turned it into a circu[Em]s
Just to put me [G]down

But I'm still around.[G]
Maybe I'll have another chance.[F]
[D]To turn the table[Em]s
And be a hero in the end[G]

(Strike the G chord like 7 or 8 times at the end)

[C]Just yesterday I had so much to say.[Em]
[F]Seemed like people wanted to listen.[D]
But now today nobody wants to[Em] have a thing to do[G2] with me~~~.

(Strike G2 chord throughout the "me.")

[Em]And so I'm singin'
The 1989 blues.[F]
[Em]But I'm lookin' forward to:[D]
A better future for me and [G]you.

[Em]And now comes,
The end of this song.[F]
[Em]Some of the things I did might have been wrong[D]
But it's only because I was out of my [G]mind.[Em]

The 1989 Blues[G2] [F] [G]

(At the end, play the G2 a few times rapidly, then switch to an F and end on a G.)

Edits/corrections are very welcome. I'm not 100% on this. Enjoy!
