Since you've been gone,
I've been like a five-string guitar.
The chords are the same,
But it doesn't feel right at all.
And I keep saying that I'll keep playing
Until you come into view.
But until then,
I've got the five-string blues.
Since you went away,
Oh, it feels all wrong.
I'm incomplete,
But my song goes on.
And I keep saying that I'll keep playing
Until you come into view.
But until then,
I've got the five-string blues.
Broke my heart when I broke that string.
Now I can't play anything for you.
If life is a melody,
Well, it knocked me out of tune.
So I keep saying that I'll keep playing
Until you come into view.
But until then,
I've got the five-string blues.
Yeah, until then,
I've got the five-string blues
