Title:
“Cobweb Chronicles”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em C
Woke up this morning, in this musty town,
G D
Echoes of yesterday are all around.
Em C
The cobwebs of memory, they pull me down,
G D
Into the chronicles, where I am bound.

(Chorus)
C G
Cobweb chronicles, the stories untold,
D Em
In the heart of the city, where the nights are cold.
C G
The tales of a time, lost in the fold,
D Em
Cobweb chronicles, where legends are mould.

(Verse 2)
Em C
Walking down the street, under the crimson sky,
G D
With the echoes of her laughter, and our last goodbye.
Em C
The city whispers secrets, in the dead of night,
G D
In the cobweb chronicles, I find my fight.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
A C
And in the silence, the city speaks,
G D
Of love and heartbreaks, of highs and peaks.
A C
And I find myself in this urban maze,
G D
In the cobweb chronicles, lost in a daze.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Outro)
Em C
So here’s to the stories, still to unfold,
G D
In the cobweb chronicles, brave and bold.
