Verse 1:
B
  So they say there's
                     F#

can take another day of this

save up for tomorrow

keep ringing out so hollow

B
  It's all the same as
                  F#
we get a little older
B
  Nowhere to go and too
                   E
late to start all over
B
  You're just a number
when you're working
             F#
for the company
B
  So play along while
they rave about the stock
F#   B
price And pretty soon
you'll be buying into their
E   B
