The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am][C][G][Am][F]
[Am]I need somet[Em]hing
in my life to straighten [Am]me out
Let's rent this shed,
we'll do [C]vocals in the bog
[G]Call toast PR tell 'em
[Am]we've opened [F]up shop
Campaign [Am]meetings at Warner,
no [E]coke and not drunk,
[Am]Three years to make this work,
or look a joke and be broke
Blag their lawyers like [C]the con with a dog,
And [G]there'll be no more straight scores
[Am]to drop and keep [F]dropping
[Am]Settle my gross addic[Em]tions with my net and come,
[Am]tell my mum over tea that my whole life's fucking up
We've got two hundred and fifty grand in the [C]budget to go,
[G]subtract five for [Am]club [F]pro[Am]mo.
Lose five for a good [Em]video and fifteen
[Am]for a dud video - fuck that

[Verse 2]
It's [Am]the hardest [C]way to [G]make
an easy [Am]living[F]
[Am]The party stage is [Em]a bit
nearer to [Am]de livery

[Verse 3]
[Am]Mayhem texts me [C]about the press and TV
[G]See if I've taken any Es,
[Am]So I can get some [F]sleep,
[Am]Nap on the settee, the l[E]aptop next to me
[Am]Wince for my family at the
skinner scandal of the week
TV pluggers, pro
[C]duct managers straight up
[G]Club promo needs to step [Am]up,
help it [F]work
[Am]Stick to our guns,
don't [Em]crack to demands
Tell my [Am]mum in the car,
that the car might have to go back
Two hundred and twenty [C]five grand, [G]twenty six grand for [Am]a showcase [F]and,
[Am]five more on tour [E]support and support [Am]story
[C][G][Am][F]

[Verse 4]
[Am][Em]
[Am]Chorus
We'll never get bankrupt
[C]if we never have a go
[G]This is no ordinary label,
I [Am]need to flash up [F]my flow
[Am]Go into Morris Stead a[Em]s well as Saville Row
I [Am]want a pin- stripe suit that no man owns
Cash in the Kano beat [C]for
the silver shadow
[G]Send it to warrior for [Am]the flash
and the [F]glow
[Am]The safest way to double your money
[Em]is to fold it in your pocket
[Am]Tell my mum during breakfast
that I got no sleep
Eight grand payed [C]in September,
[G]April, may [Am]and December
If this keeps going so [E]well,
this [Em]is going to be [Am]the end of us
[C][G][Am][F]

[Verse 5]
[Am][Em]
Chorus
[Am]In spread betting it's easy to draw a [C]small fortune start
[G]with a big fortune and lose [Am]into a small [F]fortune
[Am]Haven't got a clue,
[Em]we blindly charge on
[Am]Death threats from a boy
of the girl I sarged on
She said she didn't have a bloke,
[C]an other lesson marked down
[G]Verbal agreements aren't worth
[Am]the paper they're [F]marked on
[Am]Get scans of reviews, [Em]we beg to chart up
Tell [Am]mum over tea,
the press have started up
We've spent a for[C]tune,
'cause with [G]ghost buying it's [Am]the end for [F]tune
[Am]We need to sell some [E]re [Em]cords [Am]soon
