[Verse 1]
Well, [G]you can't just get
what you want
Without a little work a day
And you can't just stick out your hand
No, it doesn't work that way
It's gonna [Am]be a long

I'll be working all [G]night long
It's gonna [Am]be a long one
But I'm paying my [G]way

[Verse 3]
[G]
And there's not much joy in the work
Unless your born to do it, they say
And we gotta get down in the dirt now
If we wanna see some change

It's gonna be a long [Am]one
I'll be working all [G]night long
It's gonna [Am]be a long one
But I'm paying my [G]way

[Verse 5]

And [Bm]the heart is sliding backward[C]s
On this [Bm]long dark night of the [C]soul
And you're the [Bm]only thing
That [Am]keeps me going on
[G][C]

[Verse 6]

[G]It's gonna be [Am]a long one
I'll be working my fingers to the [G]bone
It's gonna [Am]be a long one

[Interlude 1]
But I'm paying my way
[G]

[Verse 7]
Well, [G]there's not much
change in the weather
On this long [C]walk home [G]to you in the rain
And there's not much left in the purse now
By the time the bills are paid

[Verse 8]
It's gonna be a [Am]long one
I can't wait for that
weekend to roll [G]along
It's gonna [Am]be a long one
But I'm paying my way
[G]

[Verse 9]
It's gonna [Am]be a long one
I'm gonna take you out
dancing all [G]night long
It's gonna [Am]be a long one
But I'm pay[G]ing my way

[Interlude 2]
[G]

[Verse 10]
Fair work for fair [G]pay
Yeah, I'm paying my way
