Billy Joel - A Minor Variation: chords

E7                   Am                 E7
Some days I have to give right in to the blues
Am             E7
Despite how I try
                          Am                    E7
To keep fightin', it's a sure shot I'm going to lose
Am                C#m7
And I'll tell you why
C#m7               D6
You think I'm crazy
D6                        C#m7
It's such a sad composition
C#m7
But can you blame me
C/D                                        C7 B7
For what's been causing my bad disposition?
B7                 C7      B7           C7 B7
Ain't nothing new with my blue situation
        A#7                     A7
And nothing's fine, it's just a mi nor variation

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:
A7                                A#7
Ain't no way to fight 'em darling
A7                          A#7
Ain't no way around 'em baby
A7                       A#7
Ain't no way to take 'em
B7
Nowhere to hide and believe me
I've tried to shake 'em

I'm getting to the point where I don't feel the pain
And I've had enough
I'm ready for the next time it hits me again
'Cause I've gotten tough
It doesn't faze me
And now I've made my decision
I may be crazy
It's not as though I don't know that condition
Until I'm through with this blue situation
Pass me the wine, it's just a minor variation

Chorus:
Ain't nobody's business, baby
Ain't nobody's worry darlin'
Ain't nobody's problem
No way to win when you've already been forgotten

C#m7                    D6
And it's a strange thing
D6                               C#m7
'Cause now it don't really matter
C#m7
More of the same thing
C/D                                        B7
Don't even hurt, it's a part of the pattern
B7                 C7        B7          C7/B7
Until I'm through with this blue situation
B7       A#7                   A7           E7
Pass me the wine, it's just a minor variation

A minor variation
It ain't no major complication
It's just a minor variation
That's all it is
That's all it is
It ain't no major aggravation
It's just a minor variation
It ain't nothin', babe...
