[Verse 1]
N.C. G5
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
D5 A5
But everything stays the same
G5 D5
It's the same old movie or the same old song
A5
Only the players change
G5
It's either 9 to 5 or work all night
D5 A5
Everybody's got to pay their dues
G5
One half are wrong, one half are right
D5 A5
Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose
B5 D5 A5
Saying me, oh my, we all got to try to stay alive
B5 D5 A5
And we'll get by if we all try to stay alive
[Verse 2]
N.C. G5
There's problems here, there's problems there
D5 A5
We got confusion everywhere
G5 D5
We're all working for a meal or to get a better deal
A5
You only want what's fair
G5
I'm stuck on stage, you're stuck at home
D5 A5
Everybody wants to trade places
G5
So I'll be you and you be me
D5 A5
Nothing changes except the faces
B5 D5 A5
Saying me, oh my, we all got to try to stay alive
B5 D5 A5
And we'll get by if we all try to stay alive
[Chorus]
B5 D5 A5
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
B5 D5 A5
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive
[Guitar Solo]
