♫ Verse 1:
C Bb          Am                F              C   Bb
    When the foreman came, he helped me understand
            Am                                 C  Bb
That my destiny was mortar in the Almighty's hand
                     Am                      F
Then they shipped my ass and they worked me place to place
C Bb                   F                     C           Dm
    Then delivered me in the combines as a ward of the state



♫ Chorus:
    C/E
Mm, come to find me
     F
I'm here today but don't belong

I'm working 'til the debt is gone
Gm
The upside of it
Dm
The upside of it
C           Dm      C/E
  But in a most familiar way
      F
I'm begging you to understand

I try to be a decent man
Gm
The upside of it
Dm             C
The upside of it

♫ Verse 2:
 C            Bb               F
Night work shattered me with overtime and they fined me
 C                     Bb
White kids say they sympathise
               F                      C   Bb
But they're afraid to look me in the eyes

Up, up, up, up, up in the sky some place
C Bb                         F
    I got treasures up in heaven and the state just takes the rest

♫ Verse 3:
C Bb
    I been working at the sawmill down in Kinleith for some time
C Bb
    I'm gonna save for my own furniture and kitchen down the line
C  Bb
    But they make it hard to pay for things outside of cigarettes
C  Bb
      Mm, it's just the jobs we're in, well, alright then, and amen

The upside of it
Dm             C
The upside of it
          Dm   C/E

I try to be a decent man
 Am
The upside of it
Dm             C
The upside of it

♫ Bridge:
        Gm           F           Bb  C
In the unrelieved serenity back home
   Gm    Am               Bb
I wonder how they talk of me
      Gm        F                  Bb  C
Do I send the card with mountains on?
       Gm                 C
Or the one with all the riot police?
Bb                          C
I don't open doors for the uniform
Gm        Am           Bb                           C       Gm
Skulking shadows that break in at the dawn time to haul us away
        Am           Bb
Do you know how it feels?
   C    Gm          Am         Bb               C
I can recite every libel and terrible thing I get
Gm                    C
'Cause I built this place

The upside of it

The upside of it
          Dm    C/E
And in a most familiar way
     F
I'm begging you to understand

I try to be a decent man
Gm
The upside of it
Dm             C
The upside of it
