Tom : A
A Asus4 A Asus4
Early in the misty, misty morning
A Asus4 A Asus4
Heading for another freeway jam
A Asus4
Sleepy eyed and shivering
A Asus4
Waking up and wishing
A Asus4 A Asus4
It was Sunday. I wish it was Sunday
[Verse]
A Asus4 A Asus4
On the radio they're playing love songs
A Asus4 A Asus4
Songs that make me want to turn around
A Asus4
Factory gates are up ahead
A Asus4
I wish that I was home in bed
A Asus4 A Asus4
With you, my love, back home with you, my love
[Chorus]
E
But I work to make a living
D A
And I work without a break
E
And I work when I am sleeping
D A
And I work when I'm awake
E
Yes, and I'd like to leave the city
D A
But I can't afford the move
E
And I think I'm goin' under
D D A E A Asus4
With those way down low down smokey factory blues
[Verse]
A Asus4 A Asus4
I was born a lover, not a worker
A Asus4 A Asus4
Money doesn't smell like sweet perfume
A Asus4
Some of us feel out of place
A Asus4
With engine oil upon our face
A Asus4 A Asus4
Believe me, you'd better believe me
[Chorus 2x]
E
And I work to make a living
D A
And I work without a break
[Chorus]
