See the [G]faces behind private eyes
[Gsus4]As you pencil in[G] their lives
In the [Am]hum d[G]rum,[Am]
[G]Can you hea[Am]r the dol[Gsus4]drum,

[Asus4]ing line
There's a [Am]foreman standing
on a [G]bridge of [Asus4]iron
And the [Gsus4]men walk across
it to go [G]back to work
[Gsus4]In their monday morning shirt[G]s
And they [Am]don't [G]run[Am]
