[Intro]
D7
[Verse 1]
D7
I was visiting a country that I did not understand
D7
Felt like I was drowning, being swallowed by the land
G7 D7
In the workaday, in the workaday
D7
I was talking to a woman whom I could not understand
D7
She was loud and she was pushy, she was probably a man
G7 D7
In the workaday, in the workaday
A
Make the most of every minute
A7 D7
Welcome to it, now you're in it
[Verse 2]
D7
I was standing at the airport with a very nervous man
D7
Said he had to go to Sydney or the deal was through his hands
G7 D7
In the workaday, in the workaday
D7
I was talking to a singer who was very very wrong
D7
He was totally convinced that I was stealing all his songs
G7 D7
In the workaday, in the workaday
A
None of us is any badder
A7 D7
There you go, you're up the ladder
[Chorus]
F G
So right, so cold
F7 D7
Keep on the way you're goin' and you won't get old
F G
New dreams, new fears
F7 D7
Droppin' in your forties in the recent years
[Verse 3]
D7
You can take the power with you so you're never out of touch
D7
Makes it easier to deal with those who haven't quite as much
G7 D7
In the workaday, in the workaday
D7
There's a girl who needs a favour, there's a girl who needs a break
D7
There's a girl who's horizontal, it's a lot of give and take
G7 D7
In the workaday, in the workaday
A
Make the most of every minute
A7 D7
Welcome to it, now you're in it
[Chorus]
F G
So right, so cold
F7 D7
Keep on the way you're goin' and you won't get old
F G
New dreams, new fears
F7 D7
Droppin' in your forties in the recent years
F G
New dreams, new fears
F7 D7
Droppin' in your forties in the recent years
