Dm         G
(Day and night working,
Bb        A
Night and day working,
Dm        G
All day long working,
Bb            A
24/7 three sixty-five working)


[Verse 1]
Dm                                          Bb
Coffee cup, watching the hands of the clock,
                  Gm                          A
Holding me locked up, waiting for the sun to rise,
Dm                               Bb
Red Light caught between day and night,
                             Gm                                 A
Can someone help me win this fight against the mundane morning blues,
G                               A
I'm tired of walking in these shoes


[Chorus]
Dm            G
Running in a rat race,
              Bb                        A                    Dm
Always in the right place at the wrong time, working for the man
                G
Living for the weekend,
              Bb                    A                    Dm
Struggling to pretend this is all right, working for the man
         G                   Bb
It's not working out for me,
      Bb               A
Is it working out for you,
                Dm  G
Working for the man
Bb           A
(24/7 three sixty-five working)


[Verse 2]
Dm
Deadlines, 
                   Bb
Living on borrowed time,
                               Gm
Not enough hours to dream these dreams of mine,
           A
They won't even let me try

Dm                                 Bb
High life, but I ain't livin' at all,
                              Gm
I find myself trapped behind these four walls,
        A
In the mundane morning blues,
G                               A
I'm tired of walking in these shoes


[Chorus]
Dm           G
Running in a rat race,
              Bb                        A                     Dm
Always in the right place at the wrong time, working for the man
               G
Living for the weekend,
              Bb                    A                     Dm
Struggling to pretend this is all right, working for the man
         G                  Bb
It's not working out for me,
        Bb             A
Is it working out for you,
                Dm  C  Bb  A
Working for the man

              Bb                        A                     Dm
Always in the right place at the wrong time, working for the man
                G
Living for the weekend,
              Bb                    A                     Dm
Struggling to pretend this is all right, working for the man
G                           Bb
It's not working out for me,
        Bb             A
Is it working out for you,
                 Dm
Working for the man
