[Intro]
G* Em*
The ravers jaws are swinging in a land of dreams,

inspired by magic beans.
G* Em*
And all the squares are filled with despair,
C* D* G Em C D
but all the little dancing feet don't seem to care.
[Verse 1]
G Em C D
To the ones who straight to the boozer as soon as they end work.
G Em C D G
Because the bosses son's a knobhead and he's driving all of the lads bezerk.
Em C D G*
Three ton for a weeks graft and sometimes I get it cash in hand.

Boss is leasing a Bentley. Still probably cost him
G Em C D G Em C D
a hundred grand, a hundred grand.
[Chorus]

You might say to me. There's more to life than this.
G7/D A7/C#
But we've not got a pound, our heads are barely above the ground.
C G C* G* D D
To make ends meet we try; then spend what's left on booze and getting high,
D
D G Em C D G Em C D
still, we get by.
[Verse 2]

Tons of people queing for their giro cheque, late Thursday on Walton Breck.

Bills come out at midnight then you're left with a score,

just like last week and all the times before.
[Verse 3]

Though we will have our moments, those burst of happiness.
G Em C D G
Even though the boilers broken and the stairs and landing are a mess.
Em C D G*
Won't ever be beaten cos we've got them and they've got us.
Em* C* D* G Em
So roll in your Bentley because for now I think I'm happy on the bus.
C D
[End-Chorus]

To make ends meet we try; then send what's left on booze and getting high,
D

still, we get [Outro] by.
[Outro]
Em B/D#
Bye yesterday; from you I'm running far away.
G7/D A7/C#
Today's the day that I got paid and the ones where all my dreams are made
C G C G D D
to make ends meet I'll try; then spend what's left on booze and getting high,
D
D G
still, we get by.
