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
