Elvis Costello Live - Welcome to the Working Week chords
Start Jamming...
Hello everybody.
Thank you very much for coming.
We entered the world of the disabled nine and a half years ago.
And once we got over the shock, I have to tell you we've met the most remarkable people.
And our life is now full of angels.
And the biggest archangel of them all tonight is
Mr.
Elvis Costello!
[D#m] [N]
[D] [E]
[G#m] [C#m] When [F#]
the [A] desire is coming [B] out, [A] welcome to [C#m] the work and feed.
[A] Oh, I know it's not for you, [E] I hope that [A] don't kill you.
Welcome [C#m] to the [F#] work and feed.
You [A] gotta do it, do it, do it, [B] so you better get to [E] it.
All of your [G#m] family have to kill just to [C#m] survive.
There's no [F#] way you're gonna make it, [A] you're not gonna make it.
You have to [B] live your [A] life.
Welcome to the work [C#m] and feed.
Oh, [A] I know it's not for [E] you, I hope that don't kill [A] you.
Welcome [C#] to the [F#] work and feed.
[A] You gotta do it, do it, [B] do it, so you better get [G#m] to it.
I hear you [C#m] saying, hey, this shit is not right.
We're [G#m] gonna write [A] about it in [G#m] a book.
Spend all [C#m] your time getting stuck [A] in this, but you never even bother [B] to look.
[E] Sometimes I wanna [G#] live a livin' in the same [C#m] lane.
Why [F#] do you wanna be my [A] friend when I feel like it [B] doesn't hurt?
I know I [A] am.
Welcome to the [C#m] work and feed.
[A] Oh, welcome to [E] the work and feed.
[C#m]
[F#] [E] [C#m] [E] You [D] never [C#m] asked me what I [E] wanted.
You only [C#m] asked me why.
[E] You never [C#m] said that so much [E] trouble.
[B] Rested on [E] my reply.
[A] Tell you it was the [E] nights when I was lonely.
[A] You were the only [C#m] one who talked.
[A] You tell you that I [E] like you, said today.
[F#] You know it's the [B] way that you walk.
[A] I just [E] say that it's always [A] someone who can do it better than [E] I can.
[A] Don't kid me that [E] I'm over walking [B] on the water.
So, make me a miracle man.
[E] Baby's gotta [C#m] have the things she [E] loves.
You know she's gotta have the [C#m] things she wants.
[E] Gotta catch this [C#m] bamboo cigarette [E] holder and a black label and a [F#] grudge.
[A] Gotta do it, everything, [C#m] just try to [A] please her.
Even while I'm [C#m] on her phone.
[A] Well, I thought by now to [E] do it's gonna be easier.
But [F#] you still say so much [B] more.
[A] Why do you have to [E] say that it's always someone [A] who can do it better than I [E] can?
[A] Don't kid me that [E] I'm over walking on the water.
[B] So, make me a miracle man.
[E] Oh, yeah.
[C#m] [E] [C#m]
[E] They say to [C#m] give a view of bad [E] reputation on the girls you've never [C#m] been to die.
[E] You try to say you've [C#m] done it all before.
Baby, [E] you know that you'll just get tired.
[A] Everybody [E] loves you so much, girl.
[A] I just don't know how you stand [C#m] the strain.
[E] [A] But I'm the one [E] who's here tonight.
And [F#] I don't want to do it all [B] again.
[A] Why do you have to say that [E] it's always someone [A] who can do it better [E] than I can?
[A] Don't kid me that I'm [E] over walking on the [B] water.
So, make me a miracle man.
Oh, [E] yeah.
[C#m] A [E] miracle man.
