Verse 1
=======
         F#m7
I read a lot nowadays
     G#m7 
Much more than before you left me
         A                 Am
High and dry in a loveless land 
     E           A          E       RIFF1
With nothing but time on my hands


Verse 2
=======
         F#m7              F#m/C#
I read a lot not just maga-zines
    G#m7               G#m/Eb
But other more serious things 
                      A             Am
To get me through the day night-time too 
       E                    A                   E
Whilst wondering how in the world to go on with-out you


Refrain
=======

Bm     A         D               A
Lonely isn't the word for me now
D    A            G        E
Blue doesn't desc-ribe it somehow


Inst
====

F#m7   F#m/C#   G#m7   G#m/Eb   A   Am  E2  A   
Blue         's not the word for me now
E   A   E   A   E   A   E   A   E   A   E


Verse 3
======= 
         F#m7       F#m/C#
I read a lot I can't   put it down
      G#m7       G#m/Eb
While others are painting the town 
                 A                  Am
You'll find me in a world of fantas-y 
      E        A       E2  E
Popul-ation one that's me


Out
===
          Bm
So if you ask me how I stop
                   C7
Contemplating what I now have not
         F#m7
I'll rep-ly 
         E
I read a lot
