A
Work work work, day after day

Fifty hour week, forty hour pay
      D7                           A
No time to get over, all this overtime
         E                      D7                    A
Yeah, I'm always runnin', but I'm always runnin' behind


[Verse 2]
   A
I got a Friday night date, with my sweetheart

I'm already late and the car won't start
   D7                                     A
Lord I feel like hittin' that car and cryin'
        E                     D7                      A
Yeah, I'm always runnin', but I'm always runnin' behind


[Pre-Chorus]
   D7
All my life it's been this way
   A
One dollar short and one day late
       B                                     E
One rung lower on the ladder I'm tryin' to climb


[Chorus]
   A
If I ever get lucky, if I ever get rich

Gonna tow my life up out of this ditch
   D7                              A
Watch the world go by while I unwind
      E                          D7                     A
Yeah, I'm always runnin', but I'm always runnin' behind


[Pre-Chorus]
  D7
All my life it's been this way
    A
One dollar short and one day late
        B                                       E
One rung lower on the ladder I'm tryin' to climb


[Chorus]
        A
If I ever get lucky, if I ever get rich

Gonna tow my life up out of this ditch
    D7                            A
Watch the world go by while I unwind
        E                     D7                       A
Yeah, I'm always runnin', but I'm always runnin' behind
