There's a pain I cannot kill
And I guess I never will
Bluebird of love has knocked me down
Sang her songs then left town
Oh the lady sang so sweet
Had the kids up on her feet
Playing the town hall she took her bow
Left me this letter I'm reading now
Chorus
I was over the moon but my
Poor heart came back soon
There was only a rainbow left to see
Left to see
Oh she said it gets so tough
Airline schedules can be rough
Wanted to stay here and live with me
One more show and she was free
So I waited here at home
Played some Stills and got myself stoned
And as I lay in that empty bed
Bluebird of love flew above my head
Chorus
Stay with me stay with me
Lay your head upon my shoulder
ChorusIntro: E then riff
E E Eadd9 E7 E6 E (use the pinkie)
Get your car out of the parking lot,
N.Y. city's getting much too hot
Way down Island there's a real cool breeze,
BRIDGE
D A E A Bm
baby get ready, the pressure's off, your body's hot, you got a good personality,
A E A Bm
my hand goes down your heart beat's up I can't go back to reality
CHORUS
E Eadd9 E Eadd9 E7 E6 E
The weekend's too short, ooh yeah
The weekend's too short, ooh yeah
Instrumental
Bless that bible, let the liquor run (the weekend's too short, ooh)
before they raise the drinking age to 21 (the weekend's too short, ooh)
Two days time it's going back to the grind (the weekend's too short, ooh)
BRIDGE
And the party's all over,
the time goes fast, our love will last, can't past the test of reality
my hand goes down your heart beat's up I said with some finality
REPEAT CHORUS then instrumental with solo
Get your car out of the parking lot, N.Y. city's getting much too hot
Way down Island there's a real cool breeze, baby get ready,
the pressure's off, your body's hot, you got a good personality,
my hand goes down your heart beat's up I can't go back to reality
REPEAT CHORUS (three times)
