guitar chords lyrics
"Earn Enough For Us"(Partridge)
From "Skylarking"(1986)
Intro: G F C X2
Chorus:
G F C F
I've been praying all the week through
G F Esus4 E
At home, at work and on the bus
G F C F
I've been praying I can keep you
F C G
And to earn enough for us
I can take humiliation
And hurtful comments from the boss
I'm just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us
C D
Found a house that won't repair itself
Bbmaj7
With its windows cracking
Ebmaj7 G Em
And a roof held together with holes (oh oh oh)
C D
Just because we're at the bottom of the ladder
Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7
We shouldn't be sadder Than others like us
Dm G
Who have goals for the betterment of life
D F#m/c# Bm A
Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest...
Chorus
So you're saying that we're going to be three
Now, a father's what I'll be
Don't get me wrong, I'm so proud
But the belt's already tight
I'll get another job at night, but honest
Chorus
Just because we're at the bottom of the ladder
We shouldn't be sadder than others like us
Who have goals for the betterment of life
Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest
Last Chorus:
G F C F
I can take humiliation
G F B
And hurtful comments from the Boss
G F C F
I'm just praying by the weekend
F C G
I can earn enough for us
F C G
I can earn enough for us!
C F G (in 3/8) (end cold on G)
