A Minor Variation Billy Joel

[Verse 1]
Some days I have to give right in to the blues
Despite how I try
To keep fightin', it's a sure shot I'm going to lose
And I'll tell you why
You think I'm crazy
It's such a sad composition
But can you blame me
For what's been causing my bad disposition?
Ain't nothing new with my blue situation
And nothing's fine, it's just a minor variation

[Verse 2]
When troubles want to find me I ain't hard to find
They know where I am
Like a hungry pack of wolves when it's feeding time
They tear up a man
And it's a strange thing
'Cause now it don't really matter
More of the same thing
Don't even hurt it's all a part of the pattern
But still in all it's a small consolation
I just define it as a minor variation

[Chorus]
Ain't no way to fight 'em darling
Ain't no way around 'em baby
Ain't no way to take 'em
Nowhere to hide and believe me I've tried to shake 'em
