Life in a Minor Key

[Slow, haunting blues riff] [Verse 1] Woke up this mornin', rain fallin' down, Sky's heavy with sorrow, no sunshine to be found. Each step I'm takin', feels like a weight on my soul, Livin' in the shadows, where dreams never grow. [bluesy interlude] [Chorus] Life in a minor key, where hope is hard to see, Every day's a struggle, just to breathe and be. Drowning in the darkness, can't find no release, Life in a minor key, where pain never cease. [Verse 2] Empty bottles line the floor, memories fade away, (Fadin' away) Lost in the echoes of things I didn't say. (Unspoken words) Time keeps on tickin', but I'm stuck in this place, (Time stands still) Chasin' after shadows, driftin' in space. (Driftin' on) [Chorus] Life in a minor key, where hope is hard to see, (Hard to see) Every day's a struggle, just to breathe and be. (Struggle on) Drowning in the darkness, can't find no release, (No release) Life in a minor key, where pain never cease. (Never cease) [Bluesy Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Dreams are just illusions, they crumble in the night, (Crumblin' down) Chained to this sorrow, can't find the light. (No light) Loneliness my companion, despair my only friend, (My only friend) Livin' in this heartache, that never seems to end. (Never end) [Chorus] (woaaaah woaaah) Life in a minor key, (hmmmm yea-eah) where hope is hard to see, (Hard to see) Every day's a struggle, (whoh woah woah) just to breathe and be. (oooooooh) (Struggle on) Drowning in the darkness (darkness), can't find no release, (No release) (ooooooh oooooh) Life in a minor key, where pain never cease. (Never cease) [Outro] So I'll keep on wanderin', through this endless gray, (Endless gray) Tryin' to find a reason, to make it through the day. (Through the day) Life's a cruel melody, a never-ending sigh, (Never endin') In this minor key, where the soul goes to die. (Goes to die) [Fade out with a mournful harmonica solo]
