Office Politics Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Intern choke[Am]s on his
[Em]gooseberry fool
[Am]Consternation in the [Em]typing pool
Press [Am]the flesh, [Em]do th[B]e deal
[Em]Book your place on the hamster wheel
See that PowerPoint presentation
Worthy of a BAFTA nomination
Zero hours, maximum pressure
You know what they say about

[Verse 2]
business and pleasure
[Dm]
[Em]Sir Hillary looks at them all and sighs
Closes up the Venetian blinds
He made his fortune on the horses
Using the rules of market forces
He's got [B]his eye on a [Em]chap named Knox
Sell his granny for some
high yield stocks
Always thinks outside the box
Always wears hilarious socks

[Verse 3]
Office [Em]politics, office politics
Office [B]politics[Bdim]
Office [Em]politics, office politics
Office [B]politics[Dm]
[Em][Bdim][Bb]

[Verse 4]
[Em]Christine thinks of the Christmas party
Martini after Martini
William tried but there was
no stopping her
Taking a ride on the photocopier
"Live for now, bugger the future"
Thus spake Zara Brewster
She put the snaps on her Facebook page
And got sacked the [B]following day

[Verse 5]
Office [Em]politics, [B]off[Em]ice politics
Office [B]politics[Bdim]
Office [Em]politics, office politics
Office [B]politics

[Verse 6]
Sir [Em]Hillary sighs, re[B]calls the days
You could [Em]use your position
to get your way
Now put your hand where it [B]shouldn't be
And [Bdim]soon you'll be on inde[Em]finite leave
No use now for the old school tie
Only the greedy need apply
Another intern chokes on his
[B]gooseberry fool
[Bdim]Mild amusement in the typing pool

[Verse 7]
Office [Bdim]politics, [Em]office politics
Office politics
Office politics, office politics
Office [Dm]politics[Em]

[Verse 8]
Office [Em]politics, office politics
Office politics, office politics
[Am]Offi[Em]ce politics, office politics
Office politics, office politics
