C
 Doing seventy on the freeway
G
 Smoke coming out the hood
Dm
 Toll man says it's ninety
Dm
 I bargain him down to eighty
Am
 'Cause I can't even dance for my money
C
 No, they won't give me cash
G
 I'm breaking my back for my money
G
 Dollar bills piling up on the dash


[Chorus]
     C
So I dash across the street to the only thing that's open
  E
I need something to eat, thank God for the Chevron
  Dm
I need something for me, I've been working so long
Dm
Need something for me (Need something for me)
C
Dash across the street to the only thing that's open
E
I need something to eat, thank God for the Chevron
  Dm
I need something for me, I've been working so long
 Dm
(I've been working so long, I've been working so long)


[Verse 2]
G
 I keep posting photos back home

And I feel bad 'cause it's a bag, I know it
     Am
They know it, do I show it?
                                                          C
What am I doing, why am I here? What am I doing, why am I here?

I can't even dance for my money
C
 No, they won't give me cash
Dm
 So I'm selling my gear for my money
Dm
 Best synth I ever had


[Chorus]
  C
I dash across the street to the only thing that's open
  E
I need something to eat, thank God for the Chevron
Dm
I just keep calling, no coverage in the canyon

(Where am I going? Why am I here? Where am I going? Why am I here?)
C
Dash across the street to the only thing that's open
  E
I need something to eat, man, I miss my pension
  Dm
I need something for me, I've been working so long

(I've been working so long, I've been working so long)


[Outro]
C
 Need something for me
Em
 Need something for me
Dm
 Need something for me
                     C
Need something for me
                 C
Thank God, thank God (Need something for me)
        G
Oh man, oh man
      C
Thank God, thank God
