They call me Mr

[C#] feel so blue
They call me Mr

[D#] 'cos I lost someone just like
[G#] you
VERSE 2:

[C#] such a sad song
Oooh, when he
[G#] lost everything,
[D#] when he lost everything that he
[G#] had

[G#] when somebody has been so very blue
[D#] How can I tell you about my past,
[G#] when all things won't
[G# open] end
REPEAT VERSE 1:

[G#] Everything is going wrong, I've lost everything I had
I have to sing this sad song, To get back to her
And I m gonna sing this song to you;
And I want you, and I want you, and I want you, and I want you
And I wanna tell you, everything is going through my mind,
And I want to sing and I want to sing,
And I want to sing and I want to sing, this song with you
