Salary Man by Kiwi Jr.
Salary Man
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
C Am G F
[Verse 1]
F D Dm
I look back on all the times
When I was rude or unkind
C Cmaj7
To someone just trying to help me
Dm
So often there's no time to think
I know my body
I vomit into the sink
C Cmaj7
And that's okay
[Chorus]
Dm
I am a salary man
I want cigarettes from Japan
C Cmaj7
That taste like oranges
Am
[Post-Chorus]
G F G
I miss our talks over coffee
C Em F G Am
Nothing says "home" like a basket of folded white shirts
G F G C
We can forgive, but we will forget
Cmaj7 Ab G F F7
Even when everyone talks about it
F F7
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 C Dm
The snake sleeps
I can't get home
No TTC
C Cmaj7
I didn't charge my cell phone last night
Dm
They say a man (Hey man)
Should go to work (Go to work)
And not come home (Not come home)
Just to feel like a jerk
C Cmaj7
Well, that's half true
[Chorus]
Dm
I am a salary man
Singing to a rock/roll band
C Cmaj7
Happy happy joy joy
Am
[Post-Chorus]
G F G
My failures are put out to pasture
C Em F G Am
I gaze through the window; there is still poetry there
G F G C
We can forgive but we can't forget
Cmaj7 Ab G F F7
No, not when no one shuts up about it
F F7
[Bridge]
C
Salarymen sleep on public benches
Next to the street
Dm
In their new suits, shiny blue ties
Polished black boots, scratchy red eyes
C
In the morning, crawling to the office
You can hear them sing "Good morning" to their bosses
Dm
Oh, dead-eyed snake deep under the ground
F/A
Dancing in the dark, slithering around
C
I wanna go home
Cmaj7
Let me go home
C
I wanna go home
Let me go
Ab G F F7
Nobody loves me like you do
F F7 (pause)
F F7 F F7
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Cmaj7 C Dm
