[Intro 1]
[E]
[Am][F][E]
[Am][F][Dm][E][Am]

[Verse 1]
Papers in the morn[F]ing
[Dm]Bowler hat on [Am]head
Walking to the bus [F]stop
He's [Dm]longing for his [Am]bed,
Waiting with his [F]neighbours
[Dm]In the r[E]ush hour q[Am]ueue
Got to get [F]the first bus
So [Dm]much for [E]him to [Am]do.
[Em]He's got to [G]hurry
[F#m]Got to get hi[A]s seat
[Em]Can 't miss his [G]place
[F#m]Got to rest his fe[A]et.
[Am]Ten more minutes till he

[Verse 2]
[F]gets there
[Dm]The [E]crossword's nearly d[Am]one.
It's been so hard [F]these days
Not [Dm]nearly so [E]much [Am]fun.
His mind wanders to the [F]of fice
His [Dm]telephone, [E]desk and [Am]chair
He's been happy with the [F]company
They've [Dm]treated [E]him real [Am]fair.
[Em]Think of seven [G]letters
Be[F#m]gin and end in[A] 'C[Em]'
Like a big Amer[G]ican car
But [F#m]misspelt with [A]a '[G]D'.
I wish [Bb]this bus'd get a move on,
[C]Driver's [Am]taking his [Bb]time.[Am]
[G]I just don't know, I[Bb]'ll be late
Oh [C]dear what [Am]will the boss [Bb]say?[Am]
[G]Pull yourself togeth[Am]er now
Don't get in a state

[Verse 3]
Don't you [Dm]worry
[G]There's no [C]hurry
[Am]It's a lovely [Dm]day
[G]Could all be going your [C]way[Am]
Take the doc's ad[Dm]vice
[G]Let up enjoy your [C]life[Am]
Listen to what they [Dm]say
[G]It's not a game they [C]play.[E][Fdim]
[Am][F][Dm][E][Am][F][Dm][E]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
He'll never get there at [F]this rate
He's [Dm]caught up [Em]in a [Am]jam.
There's a meeting this [F]morning
It's [Dm]just his [E]luck oh dam[Am]n!
His hand dives in his [F]pocket
[Dm]For his [E]handkerchief.
[Am]Pearls of sweat on his colla[F]r
His pulse-beat seems [E]seems so [Am]brief.
[Em]Eyes fall on his [G]wristwatch
[F#m]The seconds pass real [A]slow
[Em]Gasping for the [G]hot air
But [F#m]the chest pain it won't [A]go.
[G]Tried to ask for [Bb]help
But can't [C]seem to speak [Bb]a word,[Am]
[G]Words are whispered [Bb]frantically
But [C]don't seem [Am]to be heard.
[G]What about the wife and [Am]kids?
They all depend on [Am]me!

[Verse 5]
We're so [Dm]sorry
We [G]told you not to [C]hurry.
[Am]Now it's just too [Dm]late
[G]You've got a certain [C]date
We [Am]thought we made it [Dm]clear
We [G]all voiced our inner [C]fears
We [Am]left it up to [Dm]you
[G]There's nothing we can [C]do.[Fdim]
[E]
