The notes I play just aren’t right
         The chords are so off-key
The rhythm that was there is gone
     The timing is faltering

                I can tell I’m a frickin’ mess
            And still I’m trying to create the music
                  That was once there
       But now that it is gone
              I don’t know how I’ll fair
        Nothing seems to be all right
  And things are wavering

   My fingering is all wrong
         My bowing is in disorder
My vibrato refuses to pick up
     My shoulder rest isn’t helping

                I can tell I’m a frickin’ mess
            But somehow I find a reason
    To recreate the music that was once there
       But now that it is gone
              I don’t know how I’ll fair
        Nothing seems to be all right
  And things are wavering
