C                                     G7
For months she's a perfect wife and a mother
                                          C
You'd never dream that things could go so wrong
                                            
But like a cloud across the skies 
          F
I see the sadness fill her eyes
     G7                                 C
Then one day I'll come in and she'll be gone

     F                                  C
When baby gets the blues my world turns over
            D7                                           G7
While she's out somewhere with her bright lights and her booze
          C                                   F
Until the day she comes back home ashamed and sober
               G7                         C
My world stops turning when baby gets the blues

                                       G7
As long as she has me I know I'll keep forgiving
                                           C
Though I'm afraid of how much I'll someday lose
                                                F
I just can't tell you what a happy world that I live in
               G7                               C
In between the times that my baby gets them ol' blues

     F                                  C
When baby gets the blues my world turns over
            D7                                           G7
While she's out somewhere with her bright lights and her booze
          C                                   F
Until the day she comes back home ashamed and sober
         G7                            C
My world turns over when baby gets the blues

         G7                            C
My world turns over when baby gets the blues
