I Hate the Blues Lyrics

I hate the blues - Dead Moon
(album In the graveyard)
general pattern (which adds the bass pattern to the guitar chords):
You know life would be easy
if people would leave me alone
stop stepping on my fingers
when I've been working to the bone
maybe think I could get back with you
Goddamn I hate the blues
Some tried to put 'm in a bottle
some put 'm in their shoes
but either way they gonna kill you
slowly eat away your heart
If I could only stop the thought of you
Goddamn I hate the blues
I never learnt to listen
to the promises I made
I never thought you'd stay away
leaving me to take the blame
I never thougth I'd follow through
Goddamn I hate the blues
I really, really hate the blues
I'm not sure if the lyrics are correct (I know they are on the record sleeve,
but I don't have the record sleeve) since Freds articulation is not that good,
and so is my english. Corrections appreciated.
