Verse 1:
Black is black
I want my baby back
It's gray, it's gray
Since she went away, whoa-whoa
(D)
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm
I'm feelin' blue
Verse 2:
If I had my way
She'd be back today
But she don't intend
To see me again, whoa-whoa
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm
I'm feelin' blue
Bridge:
I can't choose
It's too much to lose
(G)
My love's too strong / / /
(F) E7
Wow! Maybe if she would come back to me
Then it can't go wrong
Verse 3:
Bad is bad
That I feel so sad
It's time, it's time
That I found peace of mind, whoa-whoa
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm
I'm feelin' blue
[repeat bridge]
[repeat verse 1]
Coda:
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm
I'm feelin' blue
