Verse 1:
A                                           D   G
I haven't had to pay for a drink in a while
A                                   D                       G
I’ve never been accused of having a pair of shoes that were out of style
A
I don't have to wait for a line
D
They move me to the front
            G
Or cut them out for me
A                                         D   G
Haven't had to pay for a drink in a while
G (sustain)              A
Oh, a drink for a while


Verse 2:
A                                   D      G
It ain’t hard to handle fortune and fame
A
Everywhere I show my face
D                  G
Everybody knows my name
A
All I ever take is my time
D                               G
It's money for nothing and it's chicks for free
A                                        D   G
It ain't hard to handle fortune and fame
G                    A
Oh, fortune and fame
G
Oh


Chorus:
E
Twenty four hours a week
D                        A
And seven months a year
E
Filling your cup with joy
      D                     A
Is it whiskey, gin or beer?
E
You tell me I'm spinning my wheels
       G       A      D
But to me it's no big deal
D                    E                   A
Watching these happy hours turn into years

A      D   G
A


Verse 3:
A                                           D     G
I've been getting paid serving drinks for a while
A
These young girls they just stay the same
      D                        G
But I think my shoes have gone out of style
A
Feeling kind of short on time
    D                                    G
The lines are getting longer and they're not for me
A                                          D      G
I’ve been getting paid serving drinks for a while
G
Oh


Chorus:
E
Twenty four hours a week
D                        A
Seven months a year
E
I'm not telling you you've gotta go home
        D                A
But you can't stay here
E
I'm still here spinning my wheels
       G      A      D
It used to be no big deal
D                    E                   A
Watching these happy hours turn into years
A                   E
Twenty four hours a week
                   G
And seven months a year
D                    E                 A
Watching these happy hours, year after year

D  A
