[Chorus]
B                   E           B
I'm standing at the crossroads again
B                                F#
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
B                                E
Maybe I'll bump into some famous names
E
Like Robert Johnson or Elmore James
B               F#          B
Standing at the crossroads again

[Verse]
B
Well, I woke up this morning like I usually do
F#
My baby was nowhere around
F#
I looked in the kitchen, I looked in the hall
B
In my slippers and dressing gown

[Verse]
B
There were lipstick traces on the bedroom door
E
"Goodbye" she wrote, "I don't want you no more"
F#
I guess, I ain't the man she was looking for
F#                    B
But just the man she found

[Chorus]
B                   E           B
I'm standing at the crossroads again
B                                F#
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
B                                E
Maybe I'll bump into some famous names
E
Like Robert Johnson or Elmore James
B               F#          B
Standing at the crossroads again

[Instrumental]
B E B F# B E B

[Verse]
B
So, here I am on my own again
F#
Where did I go wrong this time?
F#
I treat her good, like a gentleman should
B
I never ever step out of line

[Verse]
B
You know that I'm no kid, I know my way around
E
Six feet tall, a hundred and sixty pound
F#
I can't hold no romance down
F#                     B
Maybe I should give up trying

[Chorus]
B                   E           B
I'm standing at the crossroads again
B                                F#
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
B                                E
Maybe I'll bump into some famous names
E
Like Robert Johnson or Elmore James
B               F#          B
Standing at the crossroads again

[Outro]
B               F#          B
Standing at the crossroads again
B               F#          B
Standing at the crossroads again
