[Intro 1]
[G][Em][Am][Em][Am]

[Verse 1]
Well, [Am]I'm
dressed up [Em]so nice
An' I'm [Esus4]doin' my [Em]best[Esus4][Am]
Yes I'm startin' [Em]over.
[Esus4]Startin' [Em]over in another place[Am]

[Verse 2]
Lemme [G]tell you [Gm]a story
Big chief with a [G]golden crown
[Am]He's got rings[G] on his fing[Gm]ers
And then he walks [G]up, up to the throne

[Verse 3]
He's makin' [G]shapes with his hand[Gm]s
An' don't you dare sit down
[G]Now don't you dare sit bac[Gm]k
And don't you dare [G]speak up!
[Gm]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]And on the first[D] day,
we had [Am]everything we could hold
[G]Ooh and then we let it [Am]fall[Dm]
And on [D]the second day,
there was nothing [Am]else left to do
[G]Ooh what a day that was.

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Dm][Am][Em]
[Esus4][Em][Am][Em][Esus4]
There [Em]are 50, 000 beggars

[Verse 5]
[Esus4]
[Em]Roaming in the streets
[Am]They[Esus4] have[Am]
[Esus4]lost all thei[Em]r possessions
They [Esus4]have noth[Em]ing left to eat[Esus4][Am]

[Verse 6]
[G]Down come the bolts of [Gm]lightning
Now an electrical [G]storm[Am][G]
Starts [Gm]a chain reaction
Go [G]pull a fire alarm

[Verse 7]
[G]
I'm dreaming of [Gm]a city
It was my own [G]invention[Am]
[Gm]And I put the wheels in moti[G]on
[Gm]A time for big decisions
[Dm]And on the

[Verse 8]
[D]first day,
we had everything we [Esus4]could hol[Am]d
[G]Ooh and then we let it [Am]fall[Dm]
And on the [D]second day,
[Esus4]there was not[Am]hing else left to [G]do
Ooh what a day that was.
[Am][Dm][D][Dm]

[Verse 9]
[Bb]Oh a day t[Gm]hat was
[Bb]Ooh that's the way it [Gm]goes[Bb]
There's a million ways- to [Eb]get
things [Bbsus4]done[Bb]
Three's a million ways- [Gm]to
make [Eb]things work out.

[Verse 10]
[Fsus4]Well I'm [F]goin[Esus4]g[Em][Am][Dm][Am][Esus4][Em][Esus4][Em][Am]
[Em]right [Esus4]through[Em][Esus4][Em][Esus4][Em][Esus4]
And the light came down
Well they're roundin' 'em up
From all over town
[Am]They're movin'

[Verse 11]
[G]forward and
[Gm]back
They're movin' backwards and [G]front
And [Am]they're en[G]joying
[Gm]themselves
Moving [G]in [Gm]ev'ry direction
[G]So

[Verse 12]
[Gm]if y[G]ou f[Am]eel like[G]
you're in [Gm]a whirlpool
You feel like going home
[G]And if [Am]you fee[G]l like
[Gm]talking to someone
Who knows the difference
[G]between right and wrong
[Dm]And on the

[Verse 13]
[D]first day,
we had [Am]everything we could hold
Ooh and [G]then we let it [Am]fall[Dm]
And on [D]the second day,
there was [Am]nothing else left to do
[G]Ooh what a day that was.

[Verse 14]
[Em]We're [Am]go(in') boom
[Em]boom boom[Am][Esus4]
That's the way we live
And [Am]in a great b[Esus4]ig room an[Em]d[Esus4][Em][Am][Esus4][Em][Esus4]
[Am][Esus4][Esus4][Em][Am][Esus4][Em][Em][Esus4][Am]
