From "Skylarking"(1986)
Intro: G F C X2
Chorus:
GI've been pFraying all the wCeek thrFough
At hGome, at wFork and on the Esus4bus E
GI've been praFying I can kCeep yFou
AFnd to eCarn enough for Gus
I can take humiliation
And hurtful comments from the boss
I'm just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us
FoCund a house that won't reDpair itself
With its wBbmaj7indows cracking
And a rEbmaj7oof held together with hGoles (oh oh Emoh)
JuCst because we're at the boDttom of the ladder
We shBbmaj7ouldn't be sadder Than oEbmaj7thers like us
Who have gDmoals for the betterment of lGife
D F#m/C# Bm A
Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest...
Chorus
So you're saying that we're going to be three
Now, a father's what I'll be
Don't get me wrong, I'm so proud
But the belt's already tight
I'll get another job at night, but honest
Chorus
Just because we're at the bottom of the ladder
We shouldn't be sadder than others like us
Who have goals for the betterment of life
Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest
Last Chorus:
GI can Ftake huCmiliatFion
And Ghurtful cFomments from the BBoss
GI'm just prFaying by the wCeekeFnd
FI can eCarn enough for Gus
FI can eCarn enough for Gus!
C F G (in 3/8) (end cold on G)
