[B] [A] [Em] [Bm]
[A] [Em] [B] I tip my head [A] back and I'm staring at the stars just [Em] pissing this night away
[Bm] I've been praying for [A] something from above to come [Em] down and save me
It's [B] been a long [A] one, working for the man all [Em] day
[B] It's been a long [A] one, dying just to [Em] get away
We're A.A.
[Bm] Bullets up, roll up the [A] dice, your luck's finally [Em] run
You're picking your lucky [C#m] numbers cause you're [G] lucky number [B] one
Taking it through your [A] pockets, crimping, scraping every [Em] hole
For the things that you wanted, you wrapped up [B] on the walls
You belong [A] to them in your own mind
[Em] You got to break your back to [D] break even most [Bm] every time
Work [A] days, week days, week [Em] plays
Now something's gotta change before you go insane
[G] And you know, [Bm] [A] that it goes on and on and on and [G] on
You know, [Bm] [A] that it goes on and on, the same old [G] song
You know, [Bm] [A] that it goes on and on and it's the same old [G] song
There's nothing you can [Bm] do to break your back in [F#] two
But your joints can't quit
[B] So you work, [A] and you pay, [Em] and you break your back for another day
[B] In this big battle [A] world, [Em] it's a big battle world
[B] And you work, [A] and you pay, [Em] and you break your back for another day
[B] In this big battle [A] world, [Em] it's a big battle world
Well it's a [Bm] toss up, all [A] around the world, the suit and tie plot
Chopping some [Em] blue, dollar [C#m] block, waste and [Em] regular sweat
[Bm] Chops in some new game, big [A] league, it goes around the old clock
[Em] But what's the [C#m] difference when you're [Em] running around and you're fighting against your head
[B] Stop, twenty bucks at the [A] pump, pay, twenty bucks more is the same
Pay, twenty [Em] bucks at the pump, hey hey, they got you all with [B] clay
Pay, welcome to the [A] party, break your back in the front [Em] door
Check your checks and wallet, party at the pump, [G] war and you know
[Bm] It's a big [A] battle world, that it goes on and on and on and [G] on, you know
[Bm] It's a big [A] battle world, that it goes on and on, the same old song, [G] you know
[Bm] It's a big battle world, [A] that it goes on and on, and it's the same old [G] song
There's nothing you can [Bm] do to break your back in [F#] two
But your joints can't quit
[B] So you work, [A] and you play, [E] and you break your [Em] back for another day
[B] It's a big battle [A] world, [Em] it's a big battle [F#m] world
[B] And you work, [A] and you play, [Em] and you break your back for another day
[B] It's a big battle [A] world, [Em] it's a big battle world

[A] [B] [Em] [A] [B]
[E] [Bm] [D] [Em] [D] [Em] [F#] [B]
[A] [Bm] [Em] [A] [Bm]
[A] [B] [Bm] [E] [B] So you're worth [A] and you pay [Em] And you break your back for another day
[B] We're in this Big Bad [A] World [Em] Well, it's a Big Bad World
No [B] more worth, [A] no more [E] pain I wanna [Em] break my back for another day
[B] In this big bad [A] world
[Em] It's a big bad [B] world
La de [A] da, la da da [Em] de da, la da de da
[B]
[A] [Em] [B] No more work, [A] no more pay
[E] Don't wanna [Em] break my back for one more [B] day
In this big bad [A] world
