Welcome To The Working Week
E
G#m7
Now that your picture's in the paper being rhythmically admired
C#m7
F#
And you can have anyone that you have ever desired
A
B
All you gotta tell me now is why, why, why why
A
C#m
Welcome to the working week
A
Oh, I know it don't thrill you
E
I hope it don't kill you
A
C#m
F#
Welcome to the working week
A
B
You gotta do it till you're through it so you better get to it
E
G#m
All of your family had to kill to survive
C#m
F#
And they're still waiting for their big day to arrive
A
B
But if they knew how I felt, they'd bury me alive
Welcome to the working week
Oh, I know it don't thrill you
I hope it don't kill you
Welcome to the working week
You gotta do it till you're through it so you better get to it
G#m
C#m
I hear you saying, "Hey, the city's alright"
F#m
G#m
A
B
When you only read about it in books
G#m
C#m
Spend all your money getting so convinced
A
B
That you never even bother to look
E
G#m
Sometimes I wonder if we're living in the same land
C#m
F#
Why d'you wanna be my friend
A
B
When I feel like a juggler running outta hands?
A
C#m
Welcome to the working week
A
E
Oh ah, welcome to the working week
Miracle Man
E
C#m
E
C#m
E
C#m
You never asked me what I wanted
E
C#m
You only asked me why
E
C#m
I never thought that so much trouble
E
B
E
Was a-restin' on my reply
A
E
I could say it was the nights when I was lonely
A
C#m
And you were the only one who'd talk
A
E
I could tell you that I like your sensitivity
F#
B
When you know it's the way that you walk
A
E
Why do you have to say that there's always someone
A
E
Who can do it better than I can?
A
E
But don't you think that I know that walking on the water
B
B
B
B
B
B
Won't make me a miracle man?
Baby's gotta have the things she wants
You know she's gotta have the things she loves
She's got a ten-inch bamboo cigarette holder
And her black patent leather gloves
And I'm doing everything just tryin' to please her
Even crawling around on all fours
Oh, I thought by now that it was gonna be easy
But she still seems to want for more
Why do you have to say that there's always someone
Who can do it better than I can?
But don't you think that I know that walking on the water
Won't make me a miracle man?
Yeah they're givin' you a bad reputation
Just because you've never been denied
You try to say you've done it all before
Baby, you know that you just get tired
Yet everybody loves you so much, girl
I just don't know how you stand the strain
Oh, but I'm the one who's here tonight
And I don't wanna do it all in vain
Why do you have to say that there's always someone
Who can do it better than I can?
But don't you think that I know that walking on the water
Won't make me a miracle man?
Blame It On Cain
C
F
Once upon a time, I had a little money
Government burglars took it long before I could mail it to you
F7
Bb
F7
Still you are the only one
C
F
Now, I can't let it slip away
F
G
So if the man with the ticker tape, he tries to take it
C
Well, this is what I'm gonna say
Am7
C
Csus2
C7
Blame it on Cain, don't blame it on me
F
G
F
C
Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault, but we need somebody to burn
Am7
C
Blame it on Cain, don't blame it on me
F
G
F
C
Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault, but it just seems to be his turn
Well, if I was a saint with a silver cup
And the money got low, we could always heat it up or trade it in
But then the radio that heaven will be wired to your purse
And then you can run down the wave band, coast to coast, hand in hand
G7
F
Better or worse, curse for curse, don't be dissatisfied
G
C
So, you're not satisfied
Am7
C
Csus2
C7
Blame it on Cain, don't blame it on me
F
G

Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault, but we need somebody to burn
Am7
C
Blame it on Cain, don't blame it on me
F
G
F
C
Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault, but it just seems to be his turn
I think I've lived a little too long on the outskirts of town
I think I'm goin' insane from talking to myself for so long
Oh, but I never been accused
When they step upon your face, you wear that good luck grin
I gotta break out one weekend if I do somebody in
But every single time I feel a little stronger
F
C
They tell me it's a crime. Well how much longer?
Am7
C
Csus2
C7
Blame it on Cain, don't blame it on me
F
G
F

Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault, But we need somebody to burn
Am7

Blame it on Cain, don't blame it on me
F

Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault, But it just seems to be his turn

Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake
A
G#m
C#m
You used to hold him right in your hand
D
B7sus4
B7
But he took all that he could take
A
G#m
C#m
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
A
G#m
C#m
When I hear those silly things that you say
A
G#m

I think somebody better put out the big light

Our love got fractured in the echo and sway
A
B
E
How come everybody wants to be your friend?
G#m
B
You know that it still hurts me just to say it
E
Oh, I know that she's disgusted (Oh why's that?)
G#m
'Cause she's feeling so abused (Oh that's too bad)
A
She gets tired of the lust (Oh I'm so sad)
B
But it's so hard to refuse
A
How can you say that I'm too old
E
B
A
E
When the angels have stolen my red shoes
A
B
E
Oh, I said "I'm so happy, I could die"
B
A
E
She said "Drop dead," then left with another guy
A
B
E
That's what you get if you go chasing after vengeance
G#m
B
Ever since you got me punctured this has been my sentence
E
G#m
Oh I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused
E7
But since their wings have got rusted
A
B

You know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes
A
