Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
C#C#
I work hard for what I got
E MajorE
Plenty overtime
         C#C#
When I clock out I'm worn and beat down

But still ready to fly
            A augmentedA
Here you come with those unsteady eyes
C# minorC#m
Like you been looking for something you cannot find
          C#C#
Right through me, like my fruit ain't fit for making pie

Chorus:
                G minorGm
You’ve got to earn my affection
          F#F#
Put your back into it
        C#C#
Before we get this show on the road
    A augmentedA           C#C#
Don't make me lose all my self-respect
C# minorC#m         F#F#
I ain't desperate yet so
      C#C#           G+G
Come on now, stop acting out and act like you know


Verse 2:
     C# minorC#m
You’re a beautiful mess
 C#C#
But every attic has a treasure
 F#F#             C#C#
And I been known, to throw my apron on

And scrub to reveal a shine
           C# minorC#m
Let the good lord have mercy on you
  C# minorC#m
Before I do

If you were in the area and just passing through
                C#C#
Come correctly, come strong and don't drag your good foot behind

Chorus:
             G+G
You’ve got to earn my affection

Put your back into it
F# minorF#m      C#C#
Before we get this show on the road
         G minorGm
Don't make me lose all my self-respect
            F#F#
I ain't desperate yet so
                        C#C#
Come on now, stop acting out and act like you know


Bridge:
   C#C#
You set a pretty table and serve me raw meat

Ask me to your show but don't save me a seat

Say together we can sail, then add me to your fleet
                             G+G
The perfect pair of pants are ruined with the addition of a pleat
            C#C#             G+G
I demand a flat surface where I can firmly plant my feet
      C#C#               BB
And stand, it's my democratic right to say man you should...


Chorus:
         C#C#
You’ve got to earn my affection

Put your back into it
  F#F#       C# minorC#m
Before we get this show on the road
 C#C#
Don't make me lose all my self-respect
            F# minorF#m
I ain't desperate yet so
                  C#C#
Come on now, stop acting out and act like you know
