Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Bm]Work all d[G]ay, work all week
[Bm]Barely making it [G]home to rock
my [D]baby to sleep
It’s got [Bm]to pay [Em]off,
pay [G]off [Bm]soon
I’m ’bout to lose my nice
[G]physique[D][Bm]

[Verse 2]
[Bm]Weary [Em]mind, [G]paler cheeks
But still [Bm]I manage [Em]to make all their
offer[D]s seem cheap
[Bm]It’s got to pay [Em]off, pay [G]off soon
Every day, [Bm]I become in
[G]creasingly [D]bleak[Bm]
I be selling [Em]them tickets ‘til my
[G]throat gets sore
Trying [D]to [Bm]avoid mak[Em]ing little
fat chil[G]dren [D]buy more
[Em]It’s got to [Bm]pay [Em]off, pay o[G]ff soon
Los[Em]ing my [Bm]voice havi[Em]ng to scream
when I [Bm]speak
A hundred [Em]times a shift I be sweep
[G]ing them floors
[D]I’ll even [Bm]clean [Em]the sick up though
I’m full [D]of remorse
[Em]I don’t get pa[Bm]id eno[Em]ugh, paid en[G]ough, no,
to [Em]wanna [Bm]wash [Em]up after f[Bm]reaks

[Verse 3]
Good[C]night![Em]
“Girl, won’t you [G]dream
of [C]us tonight?”
No, at night,
[Em]I dream of anyth[G]ing I li[Bm]ke[C][Em]
These folks don’t even know the
name of the band [C]I’m in
They don’t know [D]me
[Em]That people dancing to the
words I am [C]singing
They don’t know [Em]me
Don’t even know the reason
why I’m still struggling
[C]They don’t know me[D]
[Em]I just can’t wait to write a new song,
to con[C]vince them with my [Bm]melodies
[Em]“Yes [G]I can”, “Yes I will”
[Em]I do my [Bm]be st to[Em] satisfy without
[D]sounding shrill
It’s got to [Bm]pay [Em]off, pay o[G]ff soon
Wait[D]ing on [Bm]custom[Em]ers with
temper to [Bm]kill
I’m making [Em]every effort [G]to grant their will
It [Em]feels [Bm]like [Em]pleasing’s turning
into my fore[G]most [D]skill
[Em]I do[D]n’t get paid e[Bm]noug[Em]h,
paid [G]enough no
[D]Being [Bm]ri d[Em]iculed so I can
pay bill[Bm]s[Em]
These folks don’t even know the
name of the band [C]I’m in
They don’t know [D]me
[Em]That people dancing to the words I
am [C]singing
They don’t know [Em]me
Don’t even know the reason
why I’m still struggling
[C]They don’t know [D]me
[Em]I just can’t wait to write a new song,
to [D]con[C]vince them with my melodies

[Verse 4]
[C]Goodnight![Em]
[G]“Girl, won’t you dream
of [C]us tonight?”
No, at night,
[Em]I dream of anyth[G]ing I li[C]ke
[Em]Tonight
Take off their [D]vest [G]and [Bm]their [C]bow tie
[Em]Tonight
To be [G]the star I am to[C]night
[Em]Tonight
Not gonna steal [G]my [Bm]dreams to[C]night
[Em]Tonight
I’ll dream of any[G]thing [C]I lik[Em]e
Take off their vest and
their [G]bow [C]tie
Tonight
[Em]To be the star I[Bm] am toni[C]ght!
These folks don’t even [Em]know the
name of the band I’m in
They [Bm]don’t know [C]me
That people dancing [Em]to the
words I am singing
They [Bm]don’t know [C]me
Don’t even know the [Em]reason
why I’m still struggling
They [G]don’t know [C]me
I just [D]can’t wait to [Em]write a new song,
to convince them with my [G]melod[C]ies
