Got my stapler, got my shirt and tie

Set me up to zone out
        Ab/Eb
Pushing? paper, slamming the stapler
   Cm6/Eb       Ab/Eb
Punch? in the clock until five
          Eb MajorEb
Holding out to get up to the stage

Feel the rush in my veins

Stepping into the light

Never gonna be a perfect time

To let go of all my safety lines (all my safety lines)

Looking down into the drop below

Nothing to catch me will I ever know

Set me up to burn out
Eb MajorEb
I'll be thriving

No money, surviving

I'll love for the thrill of it all (thrill of it all)
           Eb MajorEb        Ab/Eb
Holding out for the taste of a secret I'll keep and believe me

Can't keep still on the edge of my seat
