That’s what they always say (1989) (video)

Em D G C

That’s what they always say ! (2x) + Em ~ ~

Em

1. At the first bell of the day, they rise up from where they lay,

Am Em

and look down with a promise in their hands.

Em

A promise to get out, this ain’t what it’s all about,

Am Em

there’s always lots of reasons for their plans.

Am

When that golden sun shines through,

Em

there’s always one more thing to do,

C D

just one more stab into the wishing well.

Em D G C

That’s what they always say, I’m getting out, yeah !

Em D G C Em

That’s what they always say, ain’t that just what they always say ?

D G C Em

That’s what they always say, just one more little thing left in my way.

D G C

That’s what they always say, ain’t that just what they always say ?

+ Em ~ ~

Em

2. I’m getting out, I’m holding on, I’m hanging in, the time is wrong,

Am Em

and every morning brings another reason.

Am Em

A piece of cake, no lions share, just one more dice and you’ll be there,

C D Em

the golden bridge is just around the bend.

Em D G C Em

That’s what they always say, ain’t that just what they always say ?

D G C

That’s what they always say, I’m getting out, yeah !

Em D G C Em

That’s what they always say, just one more little thing left in my way.

D G C

That’s what they always say, ain’t that just what they always say ?

+ Em ~ ~ + Am - Em - C - D

Am Em

+ Tomorrow is another day, and the money junkie fades away,

C D Em

that golden bridge is just around the bend.

+ CHORUS

Em D G C

+ That’s what they always say (3x) ....
