F#m
Something isn't right
  Bm         F#m   D
I don't know how I know
    A             F#m
But baby, it's despite
     Bm      F#m  D
Your dog-and-pony show
      Bm               D  A
I can hear it coming
            F#m                        D A
You're only going through the motions, baby
          Bm               D A
With your engines humming
            F#m                        D A
You're just going through the motions, baby
F#m                        D A
Going through the motions, baby


                 F#m
Feel like I'm in jail
     Bm      F#m D
With you and Mr. Hyde
  A                F#m
A guy who leaves a trail
 Bm     F#m  D
About a mile wide
      Bm              D A
So it starts already
                 F#m                        D A
That you're just going through the motions, baby
        Bm               D A
You can throw confetti
                 F#m                        D A
But you're still going through the motions, baby
F#m                        D A
Going through the motions, baby


               G     A
They'll have a big parade
    G                       Bm
For every day that you stay clean
             G        A
But when the trumpets fade
          G                 D
You'll go under like a submarine
              Bm              D A
And you won't see it coming


F#m      D A

              Bm              D A
No, you won't see it coming


F#m      D A

F#m      D A

                  F#m
You could have it made
   Bm       F#m   D
Up there in San Rafael
    A          F#m
But baby, I'm afraid
     Bm    A       D
I'll never see you well
             Bm              D A
Because I've seen the tally
                F#m                        D A
And you're just going through the motions, baby
     Bm            D A
To a big finale
                F#m                        D A
That comes from going through the motions, baby
F#m                        D A
Going through the motions, baby
F#m                        G
Going through the motions, baby
                              D          A      
You're just going through the motions, baby
