E                                          F#m
Never thought you'd be the kinda guy to get a day job
                     A
9 to 5 you're gonna take off
  B                          E
You're gonna go against the grain

E                                             F#m
Never thought you'd be the kinda guy to take a safe route
                       A
By and by you're gonna break out
B                             E
The world's gonna know your name


[Chorus]
E7                     E

                     F#m
Didya think it'd be easy?
                        A

          B7               E
Then everybody'd do it too

[Verse 2]
E                                                  F#m
You say you haven't got the kinda time to take a beach day
                               A
'Cause you're too busy every weekday
    B                     E
To ever get up off your chair

                                                 F#m
You say you haven't got the kinda time to get a girlfriend
                               A
'Cause you're too busy every weekend
B                            E
You haven't got a second to spare


[Chorus]
E7                     E
So why're ya sittin' around?

Then everybody'd do it too


[Bridge]
      E7                E                        A      E    B
You say you're gonna leave the hard knock life behind
                                 E               A      E    B
You're gonna hitch your little wagon up to a star
                                  E                   A    E   B7
Oh you say you're gonna take the road less traveled by
                                 E7            A   F   B
Though you don't seem to be traveling very far


[Verse 1]
E                                          F#m

Then everybody'd do it too


[Post-Chorus]
E7                        E
You say you're chasing a dream?
                         F#m
Well, you'd better get moving
                   A                                B
Every second you waste, the world you're trying to chase
                 E
Gets away from you
