"Earn Enough For Us"(Partridge)
  From "Skylarking"(1986)


  Intro: G F C X2

  Chorus:

     G          F               C      F
     I've been praying all the week through
         G        F              Esus4  E
     At home, at work and on the bus
     G            F           C    F
     I've been praying I can keep you
      F      C              G
     And to earn enough for us

     I can take humiliation
     And hurtful comments from the boss
     I'm just praying by the weekend
     I can earn enough for us

   C                        D
 Found a house that won't repair itself
           Bbmaj7
 With its windows cracking
        Ebmaj7                  G           Em
 And a roof held together with holes (oh oh oh)
   C                         D
 Just because we're at the bottom of the ladder
      Bbmaj7                  Ebmaj7
 We shouldn't be sadder Than others like us
           Dm                          G
 Who have goals for the betterment of life
  D            F#m/C#        Bm         A
 Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest...

  Chorus

 So you're saying that we're going to be three
 Now, a father's what I'll be
 Don't get me wrong, I'm so proud
 But the belt's already tight
 I'll get another job at night, but honest

  Chorus

 Just because we're at the bottom of the ladder
 We shouldn't be sadder than others like us
 Who have goals for the betterment of life
 Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest

   Last Chorus:

   G     F      C     F   
   I can take humiliation
       G        F                B
   And hurtful comments from the Boss
   G          F             C   F  
   I'm just praying by the weekend
   F      C              G
   I can earn enough for us
   F      C              G
   I can earn enough for us!

   C F G (in 3/8) (end cold on G)
