Verse 1:
Papers in the morning
F Em AmBowler hat on head
Am Em FWalking to the bus stop
He's longing for his bed,
Am Em FWaiting with his neighbours
F Em AmIn the rush hour queue
Got to get the first bus

Ten more minutes till he gets there

Bridge 2:
Em G
Think of seven letters
Be-gin and end in 'C'
Em GLike a big A-merican car
F#m ABut misspelt with a 'D'.
Pre Chorus 1:
I wish this bus'd get a move on,
Am7Driver's taking his time.

Oh dear what will the boss say?
GPull yourself together now
Don't get in a state
Am Dm
Don't you worry
G CThere's no hurry
It's a lovely day
G CCould all be going your way
Am DmTake the doc's ad-vice
Let up enjoy your life

Verse 3:
Am Em F
Never get there at this rate
F Em AmHe's caught up in a jam.
There's a meeting this morning
F Em AmIt's just his luck oh damn!
Am Em FHis hand dives in his pocket
For his handker-chief.
Am Em FPearls of sweat on his collar
F Em AmHis pulse-beat seems so brief.

Eyes fall on his wristwatch
F#m AThe seconds pass real slow
Em GGasping for the hot air
But the chest pain it won't go.
Pre Chorus 2:

They all depend on me!

Am Dm
We're so sorry
We told you not to hurry.
Am DmNow it's just too late
G CYou've got a certain date
We thought we made it clear
G CWe all voiced our inner fears
Am DmWe left it up to you
There's nothing we can do.
