Intro: Dm x 4
Dm
You do your time, tow the lineWading through the water heading for the wine
Gm
Throw your pearls for swine, break your spineYou'll never reach a hundred doing 99
Dm You gotta lift your chin to see what comes up ahead Gm Dm Before the casket slams shut and the fat lady's dead Gm Am Dm But if I do do do all I can Gm Tomorrow comes a chance Gm Am Dm And if I do do do all I don't Dm Gm There's no reason it won’t
I'm gonna sit right down, I'm gonna count to four
Gm So hand it over a couple million or more! Dm Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter
Dm
Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every dayMidnight shifter
Dm
Surprise surprise, I got wiseWhen you get up in the morning I just close my eyes
Gm
No dos or dies are worth the priceCause once you hit the floor they cut you down to size
Dm
No don't get me wrong we could be one in the sameBut there's a difference in the way that we're playin' the game
Gm Never let no one be no boss over me Dm You work in chain, but my thinking is free Gm Am Dm But if I do do do all I can Gm Tomorrow comes a chance Gm Am Dm And if I do do do all I don't Dm Gm There's no reason it won’t
I'm gonna sit right down, I'm gonna count to four
Gm So hand it over a couple million or more! Dm OOOOOHHHH YEAAAAAH Dm Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter
Gm
