(Intro.)

(Verse)
He says he's got a (D)deadline (I go to work)
He says there's no (D)overtime (I go to work)
He says there's (D)something important that he needs right now
That's unspecified (I go to work)
He says he (A)knows I put in a long week
But he's gotta (G)be in PCB so
He needs (D)me so (I go to work)
And rent's due next week (D)so (I go to work)

(Chorus)
(D) These sons of b***hes got me, damn dog tired
(D) But if I b***h then I get, fired fired fired
And my (G)short change from my s**t wage
It (G)sure ain't keeping my ass afloat
(D) Paycheck goes straight to the government
(D)All that's left just ain't gonna cover it
(A)I work near for free
And (G)all that work ain't workin' for me (D) / / / (D) / /

(Verse)
I gotta (D)trust the process (And go to work)
That's some s**t that the (D)boss says (Just go to work)
Put on your (D)big boy pants get your beach house plans outta your head
(And go to work)
Yeah, that (A)Wonder Bread price is high
And I got (G)mouths to feed at night
And my (A)state politician's on a big boat fishin'
While I'm (G)sinking like the sinker on his line

(Chorus)
(D) These sons of b***hes got me, dam dog tired
(D) But if I b***h then I get fired fired fired
And my (G)short change from my s**t wage
It (G)sure ain't keeping my ass afloat
(D) Paycheck goes straight to the government
(D)All that's left just ain't gonna cover it
(A)I work near for free
And (G)all that work ain't workin' for me (D) / / / (D) / / /

(Instrumental)
(Bb) La la la (A)la la la
(D) Paycheck goes straight to the government
(Bb) La la la (A)la la la
(D) All that's left just ain't gonna cover it
(Bb) La la la (A)la la la
(D) Credits and debtors and (E)damn it I'm (A)over it / / / (A) / /

(Break)
When they (D)lay me down six feet in the sand
They say "(D)here lies a (A)lifelong (D)company man"

(Chorus)
(D) These sons of b***hes got me, damn dog tired
(D) But if I b***h then I get fired fired fired
And my (G)short change from my s**t wage
It (G)sure ain't keeping my ass afloat
(D) Paycheck goes straight to the government
(D)All that's left just ain't gonna cover it
(A)I work near for free
Tell (G)that to my back and knees
But I'm (A)in too deep to leave man
And (G)all that work ain't workin' for me (D) / / / (D) / / / (D) / / / (D) - - - - -
