Land Of The Bottom Line

(início)

     Intro:  Basically same as the Verse
     Verse:
     C                  G          D              Em
     I couldn't bribe a wino, on what I used to make
        C              G                D Dsus2 D
     My fortune was as sure as the wind
     C                 G       D              Em
     But I was free to wonder, time was on my hands
        C           G                D Dsus2 D
     It was mine to burn and to bend
     Chorus:
     Em          C        D                 Em
     Freedom for freedom, call that an even scheme
     C               G                    D Dsus2 D
     Give me time to wonder and to dream
     Em         C      D                 Em
     I'll take the money, they'll take the time
     C           G                       D Dsus2 D
     Down to the land of the bottom line
                   Em
     To the bottom line.
     Verses
     Then there came a chance, to make some steady dough
     Bouncing up my alley to the door
     You fill your clothes with keys, and dammned responsibilities
     Trading the maybe for the sure.
     (Chorus)
     All I ever wanted, was to be a kid and play
     Fighting every change along the way
     I don't like work, I don't like waste
     And I don't like waiting for a taste.
     (Chorus)
