Intro
Am G F F/E Dm E Am
Verse 1:
Am Em F
Papers in the morning
F Em Am
Bowler hat on head
Am Em F
Walking to the bus stop
F Em Am
He's longing for his bed,
Am Em F
Waiting with his neighbours
F Em Am
In the rush hour queue
Am Em F
Got to get the first bus
F Em Am
So much for him to do.
Bridge 1:
Em G
He's got to hurry
F#m A
Got to get his seat
Em G
Can't miss his place
F#m A
Got to rest his feet.
Verse 2:
Am Em F
Ten more minutes till he gets there
F Em Am
The crossword's nearly done.
Am Em F
It's been so hard these days
F Em Am
Not nearly so much fun.
Am Em F
His mind wanders to the office
F Em Am
His telephone, desk and chair
Am Em F
He's been happy with the company
F Em Am
They've treated him real fair.
Bridge 2:
Em G
Think of seven letters
F#m A
Be-gin and end in 'C'
Em G
Like a big A-merican car
F#m A
But misspelt with a 'D'.
Pre Chorus 1:
G Bb
I wish this bus'd get a move on,
Am7
Driver's taking his time.
G Bb
I just don't know, I'll be late
Am7
Oh dear what will the boss say?
G
Pull yourself together now
Don't get in a state
Chorus 1
Am Dm
Don't you worry
G C
There's no hurry
Am Dm
It's a lovely day
G C
Could all be going your way
Am Dm
Take the doc's ad-vice
G C
Let up enjoy your life
Am Dm
Listen to what they say
G C B Gdim
It's not a game they play.
Am G F F/E Dm E Am
Verse 3:
Am Em F
Never get there at this rate
F Em Am
He's caught up in a jam.
Am Em F
There's a meeting this morning
F Em Am
It's just his luck oh damn!
Am Em F
His hand dives in his pocket
F Em Am
For his handker-chief.
Am Em F
Pearls of sweat on his collar
F Em Am
His pulse-beat seems so brief.
Bridge 3:
Em G
Eyes fall on his wristwatch
F#m A
The seconds pass real slow
Em G
Gasping for the hot air
F#m A
But the chest pain it won't go.
Pre Chorus 2:
G Bb
Tried to ask for help
Am7
But can't seem to speak a word,
G Bb
Words are whispered frantically
Am7
But don't seem to be heard.
G
What about the wife and kids?
They all depend on me!
Chorus 2
Am Dm
We're so sorry
G C
We told you not to hurry.
Am Dm
Now it's just too late
G C
You've got a certain date
Am Dm
We thought we made it clear
G C
We all voiced our inner fears
Am Dm
We left it up to you
G C B Gdim
There's nothing we can do.
