Now that your pictureÕs in the paper bein' publicly admired
         C#m

 A                          B                                 
All you gotta do is tell me why, why, why, why...

       A                                                     
Oh, I know it donÕt thrill you

I hope it don't kill you

You gotta do it 'til you do it 
              B                                              
So you'd better get to it
                                                            

Verse 2:                                                            
Not like your family had to kill to survive
They're still waitin' for their 
Big day to arrive
If they knew how I felt
They'd bury me alive
                                                            
Chorus
                                                            
Bridge
    G#                                     C#m                 
I hear you sayin' that the cityÕs all right
            F#m                  G#m             A          B                 
But you've only read about it in books
       G#                                  C#m                   
Spent all your money gettin' so convinced
                           A                         B        
That you never even bothered to learn
                                                            
Verse 3:                                                            
Not like we're even livin' in the same land
Why you want to be my friend
When I'm actin' like a juggler
Runnin' outta hands

       A                              E                       
Welcome to the workin' week
                      A                               E                      
Well now, welcome to the workin' week
