Capotraste na 2ª casa
F#m
Something isn't right
Bm F#m D
I don't know how I know
A F#m
But baby, it's despite
Bm F#m D
Your dog-and-pony show
Bm D A
I can hear it coming
F#m D A
You're only going through the motions, baby
Bm D A
With your engines humming
F#m D A
You're just going through the motions, baby
F#m D A
Going through the motions, baby
F#m
Feel like I'm in jail
Bm F#m D
With you and Mr. Hyde
A F#m
A guy who leaves a trail
Bm F#m D
About a mile wide
Bm D A
So it starts already
F#m D A
That you're just going through the motions, baby
Bm D A
You can throw confetti
F#m D A
But you're still going through the motions, baby
F#m D A
Going through the motions, baby
G A
They'll have a big parade
G Bm
For every day that you stay clean
G A
But when the trumpets fade
G D
You'll go under like a submarine
Bm D A
And you won't see it coming
F#m D A Bm D A
No, you won't see it coming
F#m D A F#m D A F#m
You could have it made
Bm F#m D
Up there in San Rafael
A F#m
But baby, I'm afraid
Bm A D
I'll never see you well
Bm D A
Because I've seen the tally
F#m D A
And you're just going through the motions, baby
Bm D A
To a big finale
F#m D A
That comes from going through the motions, baby
F#m D A
Going through the motions, baby
F#m G
Going through the motions, baby
D A
You're just going through the motions, baby
