The first verse hit the chords once each and let's them ring-- the first
chorus and after the chords are struck once on the first downbeat followed
by two half beats (a "one      and two" syncopated count if you wasted
years as a high-school band-nazi)

Welcome to the Working Week-  Elvis Costello

Verse:   (tacit until picture)
                        E (022100@1)                    G#mNow (133111@4)that your picture?s in the paper bein' publicly admired
         C#mYou (x13321@4)can have anyone
               F#That (244322@1)you have ever desired
 A (x02220@1)                        BAll (x2444x@1)you gotta do is tell me why, why, why, why...
