Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Now [A]that your [D]picture's in the paper
being [F#m]rhythmically admired
And you [Bm]can have anyone
that you have [E]ever desired
[G]All you gotta tell me now is [A]why,

[Verse 2]
why, why, why?
[G]Welcome to the working [Bm]week
Oh, I [G]know it don't thrill you,
I [D]hope it don't kill you
[G]Welcome to the [Bm]working [E]week
You gotta [G]do it till you're through it,
so you [A]better get to it

[Verse 3]
[D]All of your family had to kil[F#m]l to survive
[Bm]And they're still waitin' for
their [E]big day to arrive
[G]But if they knew how I felt,
they'd [A]bury me alive

[Verse 4]
[G]Welcome to the working [Bm]week
Oh, I [G]know it don't thrill you,
I [D]hope it don't kill you
[G]Welcome to the [Bm]working [E]week
You gotta [G]do it till you're through it,
so you [A]better get to it

[Verse 5]
[F#m]I hear you sayin', "Hey,
the [Bm]city's alright," when you [E]only read [F#m]about it in [G]books[A]
[F#m]Spend all your money gettin' [Bm]so convinced
that you [G]never even bother [A]to look
[D]Sometimes I wonder if we're
[F#m]livin' in the same [Bm]land
Why d'you want to [E]be my friend when [G]I feel
like a juggler [A]running out of hands?

[Verse 6]
[G]Welcome to the working [Bm]week
Oh, [G]welcome to the working week

[Outro 1]
[D][D]
