  G
  Pour myself a cup of ambition
  D                                     A
  Yawning, stretching trying to come to life

         D                            D
  Barely getting by          It's all taking and no giving
            G                         G

            E                      E
  You would think that I     Would deserve a fair promotion
          A                          A
  Want to move ahead         But the boss won't seem to let me
    F#                          B
  I swear sometimes that man is out to get me

         G
  You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
      D                                A
  But you got dreams he'll never take away
         D                                                
  You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends
  G
  Waiting for the day your ship will come in
          D                          A                   D
  And the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way
