Glen Hansard: Paying My Way Chords [Intro] G [Verse 1]
          G
Well, you can’t just get what you want

                 G
Without a little work a day

        G
And you can’t just stick out your hand

                         G
No, it doesn’t work that way
[Chorus]
                Am
It's gonna be a long one

                G
I’ll be working all night long

                     Am
It’s gonna be a long one

                     G
But I’m paying my way
[Verse 2]
            G
And there’s not much joy in the work

                    G
Unless your born to do it, they say

       G
And we gotta get down in the dirt now

                     G
If we wanna see some change
[Chorus]
                Am
It's gonna be a long one

                G
I’ll be working all night long

                     Am
It’s gonna be a long one

                     G
But I’m paying my way
[Bridge]
        Bm7                  C
And the heart is sliding backwards

        Bm7                        C
On this long dark night of the soul

               Bm7
And you're the only thing

     Am             C6/D
That keeps me going on
[Chorus]
                Am
It's gonna be a long one

                                  G
I’ll be working my fingers to the bone

                     Am
It’s gonna be a long one

                     G
But I’m paying my way

                 G
I’m paying my way
[Verse 3]
              G
Well, there's not much change in the weather

                                     G
On this long walk home to you in the rain

            G
And there's not much left in the purse now

                          G
By the time the bills are paid
[Chorus]
                Am
It's gonna be a long one

                                  G
I’ll be working my fingers to the bone

                     Am
It’s gonna be a long one

                     G
But I’m paying my way

                Am
It's gonna be a long one

                                       G
I can't wait for that weekend to roll along

                     Am
It's gonna be a long one

                     G
But I'm paying my way

             G
Paying my way

             G
Paying my way
[Outro]
                      G
Fair work for fair pay

                       G
Yeah, I’m paying my way
