Verse:
E
One day you blew across the water after racing through the countdown, 
                                                             G
Spewing ancient wisdom like your friends the revelations had come, 
                          B
And they were looking for me. 
E
I took the red-eye back to glory but the more I got the facts straight, 
      
It turns out that the story's getting shorter, 
                   G                          B
And what I want to know is: will it happen to me? 

Chorus:
 (riff 2 below) A                    B             E
Can't take them out, can't take them out with baby artillery. 
                A                    B
Can't take them out, can't take them out, 
           E    A   B   E    A   B
Lady, it's secretarial. Secretarial.

Verse:
We've been divided, we've decided it's a problem we can live with, 
The motion to defeat it is repeated, 
And what I want to know is: will it happen to me? 
So come on, let the son in, we've been gunning for promotion, 
Postering the slogans on the roadsigns, 
But I want to know when it happens to me.
