E                                                   C#m           E
Tonight will be the last night of my record-breakingly successful run
                    A                                    E
in the lead role of the greatest play of the century
E
Unprecedentedly warm praise from critics and public alike 
                          A
has met my portrayal of a man at his desk who gives a damn

E                       A            C#m                               E
"Oh, oh, oh, if I could only see the clear blue sky from my office window
E                                 C#m        B                          E
Oh, oh, then it would only take a steel grey day and I'd take my bow"

I'd like to thank all my friends and fans for always pushing me to soldier on
E                         A
So one last time (for the cameras), my greatest soliloquy
E                                    A     C#m                         E
"Oh, oh, oh, if I could only see the clear blue sky from my office window.
E                                 C#m        B           G#m             C#m
Oh, oh, then it would only take a steel grey day and I'd take my bow"

I'd like to nominate myself to receive an award.
E          C              C#m    G      F#m     E
As a small symbol of recognition for my body of work 
E             C                  C#m
A lifetime of selling my body to pay the bills
G      F#m          E
But my heart and my mind are mine, 
A              B            C#m
Mine, you will not win this war 
G              F#m
This is just a battle
E                 A    B               E       A   B
Oh, oh, oh, well, I've surrendered you my physical attendance here
E               A        B           E
But no, no, no, you will not take my soul 
E       A          B                   E
Lest we forget why I'm sitting here

My letter to the Human Resources Department said:

"You started a war so you'll get what you started"
