Now that your picture's in the paper bein' rythmic'lly admired 
            C#m7                      F# 
And you can have anyone that you have ever desired 
A                             B 
All you gotta tell me now is why, why, why why

Welcome to the working week 
          A                                    B 
You gotta do it till you're through it so you better get to it 

E                         G#m 
All of your fam'ly had to kill to survive 
C#m                                 F# 
And they're still waitin' for their big day to arrive 
    A                                B 
But if they knew how I felt, they'd bury me alive

You gotta do it till you're through it so you better get to it 

G#m                           C#m 
I hear you sayin', "Hey, the city's all right," 
         F#m        G#m         A     B 
When you only read about it in books 
G#m                          C#m 
Spend all your money gettin' so convinced 
          A                     B 
That you never even bother to look 
E                            G#m                     C#m 
Sometimes I wonder if we're livin' in the same land 
                F# 
Why d'you wanna be my friend 
        A                          B 
When I feel like a juggler runnin' outta hands? 

A                      C#m
