Meat Loaf - Piece of the Action
INTRO: G C G C D G
Em
Somewhere a red-eyed waitress
C Em Am
Glances at another movie magazine
Down on the corner there's a grocery boy
C D C
Stuffing boxes full of hungry dreams
Am
Someone's cleaning up the offices
Em D Em C
One window burning in the dark
Am D
Somebody's crying, is there any way in hell
G
To light a comet from a single spark?
Working so hard I can't remember much
C Em Am
About the freedom I been working for
Felt like a prisoner 'til I looked in your eyes
C D C
And saw a million wide open doors
Am
Ya tell me, "Put a little money away
Em D Em
Well, every dog will have his day in time"
C Am
Well, I been slaving like a dog and I got nothing to show ya
D
But a collar and a fist full of nickels and dimes
CHORUS:
C Am
I want a piece, a piece of the action
Em
Give me a shot at the real thing
C Am
I want a piece of the action, a piece of the action
D
Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
C D G
Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
Been living just like my old man did
C Em Am
And neither one of us could get it right
Punching in when the day begins
C D C
And punching out the local boys at night
Am
There's someone leaning on a peeling porch
Em D Em
And someone leaving on a silver plane
C Am
And I finally know the man I'd rather be
D
Girl, I won't be back to getcha 'til they know my name
CHORUS:
C Am
I want a piece, a piece of the action
Em
Give me a shot at the real thing
C Am
I want a piece of the action, a piece of the action
D
Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
C D
Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
BRIDGE:
Am C
Well, they hand you a paycheck every week
Em
And steal a piece of your soul every day
C Am
And I don't need no gold watch in fifty years
D
Baby, let's be golden today
CHORUS:
C Am
I want a piece, a piece of the action
Em
Give me a shot at the real thing
C Am
I want a piece of the action, a piece of the action
D
Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
C Am
I want a piece of the action, a piece of the action
Em
Give me a shot at the real thing
C Am
I want a piece of the action, I've been breaking my back
D
Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
Lead Break: C Am Bm Em C Am D
CHORUS:
C Am
I want a piece, a piece of the action
Em
Give me a shot at the real thing
C Am
I want a piece of the action, a piece of the action

Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings

Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
