On My Way To Work

Tom: C

 G
On my way to work
 C           Em
I rode a big green bus
 Em
I could see everything
  C             G
From the upper deck
 G
People came and went
 C        Em
Smoking cigarettes
 Em
I picked the packets up
  C             G
When the people left

 C                   Am
But all the time I thought of you
                  F
How far away the future seemed
                Am
How could I so many dreams?
      C          A7       D
And one of them not come true

 G
On my way to work
 C         Em
I bought a magazine
 Em
Inside a pretty girl
 C                G
Who liked to water-ski
 G
She came from chichester
 C       Em
To study history
 Em
She had removed her clothes
 C            G
For the likes of me

 C                  Am
But all the time I thought of you
                        F
How would you know that I was there?
                      Am
How could I soul-search everywhere?
   C             A7      D
Without knowing what to do

 G
On my way to work
 C           Em
As I was clocking in
 Em
I could see everything
 C           G
How it came to be
 G
People come and go
 C           Em
Smoking cigarettes
 Em
I pick the packets up
 C              G
When the people leave

 C                  Am
But all the time I think of you
                  F
How far away the future seems
