[Verse 1]
As I stand by your flame
I get burned once again
Feeling low down, I'm blue

[Verse 2]
As I sit by the fire
Of your warm desire
I've got the blues for you, yeah

[Bridge]
Every night you've been away, a hey, a hey
I've sat down, and I have prayed
That you're safe

[Verse 3]
In the arms of a guy
Who will bring you alive
Won't drag you down with abuse
Oh

[Verse 4]
In the silk sheet of time
I will find peace of mind
Love is a bed full of blues

[Outro]
And I've got the blues for you
And I've got the blues for you
And I'll bust my brains out for you
And I'll tear my hair out
I'm going to tear my hair out just for you
If you don't believe what I'm singing
At three o'clock in the morning, babe, well
I'm singing my song for you

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
