[Dm] Tickety-tick and a [G] tickety-tock, a tick and a click and a sudden [Bb] shock, a clock [C] alarming by my bed, [G] and loud enough to wake up the dead.
I'm tired and [D] sleepy from head to toe, but I gotta get up and get ready to [Dm] go.

[G] [Dm]
[G] [A] Work, work, the [G] same routine.
It's either the boss or the old machine.
Hour for hour, day after day, but it rots around and rolls away.
Blow, whistle, [D] and let me go home, away from working [G] on my own.

[Am] [C] [G]
[A]
[G] Sooner or later you hit the hay, another dollar another day.
A late show [C] and a shuffle to [G] bed, [C] now lay me down a word is said.
Pull the [D] alarm out on the clock for another [G] day and another shock.
