D A  D

F#m/B               D/B
Tryin' to keep that wolf at bay
Em/B                      F#m/B
Twelve out of twenty-four hours a day
    D
I'm bustin' it, I'm breakin' my back
F#m/B              D/B
Swing that hammer, stomp that shovel
Em/B                    F#m/B
Boss man says "boy your pullin; a double"
     D                               A
It's always me pickin' up the slack, nobody said it was easy

[Chorus]
                         D                              Bm
But girl its been a hard long day, it seems we work our lives away
         A         G                       Em
Five o'- clock I'm beat, dead on these two feet
    A                D                A            Bm
But girl when I come home to you, the only thing I wanna do
        A        Em                     G       Bm
Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through
      A      G        A                   D
After a long day is a long night with you

F#m/B                     D/B
One of those nights where we don't sleep
    Em/B                     F#m/B
The two of us fittin' like a puzzle piece
        D           Bm       D
Turnin' up the heat with the lights down low
   F#m/B              D/B
So go ahead honey and pour the wine
      Em/B                    F#m/B            D
I'm a little overdue for some overtime in your lovin' arms
                        A
I ain't lettin' you go, yeah tonight we'll take it slow and easy

[Chorus]
                         D                              Bm
But girl its been a hard long day, it seems we work our lives away
         A         G                       Em
Five o'- clock I'm beat, dead on these two feet
    A                D                A            Bm
But girl when I come home to you, the only thing I wanna do
        A        Em                     G       Bm
Is baby hold you tight, 'cause all that gets me through
      A      G        A               D
After a long day is a long night with you

After a long day is a long night, girl, it's been a long day

And I'll need a long night with you

Bm                D                           Bm          D
It's a little bit longer, baby, it's a little longer with you
