[Intro]
Em   Bm  Em    D  Em  A
Em  D  Em  D
 
[Verse 1]
Em  D
  A hundred thousand dollars
Em         D
  wouldn't touch the price I paid
Em D                         Em
   of the hundred thousand moments
D
of the times I wish I'd stayed.
F#m                                  Bm
  But even if I had all the time and money,
Bm
it's still the same old news.
Em                    D
 Nothin' does you any good
Em           D
when you got 2000 blues.
 
[Verse 2]
Em             D
Ten thousand clouds
Em D                 Em
   on a rainy rainy day
         D
couldn't wash away
Em D
   all the dust and the haze.
F#m                   Bm
 But I tried and I tried
Bm
to search for all the clues,
Em     D
 why I can't wash away
Em     D
 these 2000 blues.
 
[Guitar Solo]
Gm   Dm   Gm    Dm    Gm
 
[Verse 3]
Em    D
 If I had an airplane
Em    D
 with a co-pilot too,
Em D            Em
   I'd fly to a planet
     D
that was closest to you.
F#m
 I'd set the tracking system
Bm
with your safety fuse,
F#m
and set the countdown
Bm        Em   D
 for 2000 blues.
