F#5
Something isn't right
  B5         F#5   D5
I don't know how I know
    A5             F#5
But baby, it's despite
     B5      F#5  D5
Your dog-and-pony show
      B5               D5  A5
I can hear it coming
            F#5                        D5 A5
You're only going through the motions, baby
          B5               D5 A5
With your engines humming
            F#5                        D5 A5
You're just going through the motions, baby
F#5                        D5 A5
Going through the motions, baby


                 F#5
Feel like I'm in jail
     B5      F#5 D5
With you and Mr. Hyde
  A5                F#5
A guy who leaves a trail
 B5     F#5  D5
About a mile wide
      B5              D5 A5
So it starts already
                 F#5                        D5 A5
That you're just going through the motions, baby
        B5               D5 A5
You can throw confetti
                 F#5                        D5 A5
But you're still going through the motions, baby
F#5                        D5 A5
Going through the motions, baby


               G5     A5
They'll have a big parade
    G5                       B5
For every day that you stay clean
             G5        A5
But when the trumpets fade
          G5                 D5
You'll go under like a submarine
              B5              D5 A5
And you won't see it coming


F#5      D5 A5

              B5              D5 A5
No, you won't see it coming


F#5      D5 A5

F#5      D5 A5

                  F#5
You could have it made
   B5       F#5   D5
Up there in San Rafael
    A5          F#5
But baby, I'm afraid
     B5    A5       D5
I'll never see you well
             B5              D5 A5
Because I've seen the tally
                F#5                        D5 A5
And you're just going through the motions, baby
     B5            D5 A5
To a big finale
                F#5                        D5 A5
That comes from going through the motions, baby
F#5                        D5 A5
Going through the motions, baby
F#5                        G5
Going through the motions, baby
                              D5          A5      
You're just going through the motions, baby
