And hurrrr' we go. Intro: Em x 4
    Em
You do your time, tow the line
Wading through the water heading for the wine
           Bm  
Throw your pearls for swine, break your spine
You'll never reach a hundred doing 99
          Em
You gotta lift your chin to see what comes up ahead

           Bm                        Em
Before the casket slams shut and the fat lady's dead

         Bm              Bm   Em
But if I do do do all I can

                    Bm
Tomorrow comes a chance

         Bm                Bm   Em
And if I do do do all I don't

        Em               Bm  
There's no reason it won’t
I'm gonna sit right down, I'm gonna count to four
   Bm 
So hand it over a couple million or more!

       Em
Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter
       Em
Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter
Em
Surprise surprise, I got wise
When you get up in the morning I just close my eyes
   Bm
No dos or dies are worth the price
Cause once you hit the floor they cut you down to size
         Em
No don't get me wrong we could be one in the same
But there's a difference in the way that we're playin' the game
      Bm
Never let no one be no boss over me

    Em
You work in chain, but my thinking is free

         Bm              Bm   Em
But if I do do do all I can

                    Bm
Tomorrow comes a chance

         Bm                Bm   Em
And if I do do do all I don't

        Em               Bm  
There's no reason it won’t
I'm gonna sit right down, I'm gonna count to four
   Bm 
So hand it over a couple million or more!

          Em
OOOOOHHHH YEAAAAAH

       Em
Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter
       Bm
Said I know you gotta work hard, working hard every day
Midnight shifter
         Em
