Verse 1:
Gm
  I'd never bite off more 
     F
then i could chew
                      Eb    F
But then she came and bit me
Gm
  I'd never bite off 
          F
more then i could chew
             Eb     F
But then she bit my leg
        Gm
She said  Don't 
                   F
wanna work I wanna play
And live my life 
            Eb    F
like it was Sunday
Gm                         F
  The only problem is that Sunday 
               Eb

    F

Verse 2:
Gm                         F
  My body's tired my souls excited
                      Eb    F
And i wish that i was gifted
Gm                         F
  My body's tired my souls excited
             Eb        F
And i wish i had some spunk
        Gm
She said  I wanna 
            F
run i wanna hide
And leave this place
             Eb     F
Just like it left me
Gm                      F
  The only problem is I need to 
                  Eb
find the balls to follow through
    F
And that's the truth but


Chorus 2:
Gm
  We're breaking up the city
F
  No time for wasting away
Dm
  So tell me why should we stay
F
  prisoners of today
Gm
  We're breaking up the city
F
  No time for wasting away
Dm
  So tell me why should we stay
F
  prisoners of today

(no time for one another)
 F
