Pay Raise

G


[Verse 1]
G
Pay raise, the status symbol that 
you wanted.
                  Am
But daddy's got a shotgun,
         C                         
And he's going out to blow off some
 G
 steam.

Those days, should have put me in my
 coffin.
                Am
But everybody's got one.
   C                           G
An opinion, if you know what I mean.


[Chorus]
       Am                      C
I'm convinced if my worries present 
in a hurry,
     G
I'll try to keep my name off your 
list.
            Am
Everybody's playing by their own 
rules
                   G
And it's making me feel sick.


[Verse 2]
G
Cheap stays, a bad decision in the 
making.
                    Am
Where I caught my reflection,
    C                           
And noticed I looked half in the 
 G
bag.

How strange, that we're making this 
connection.
                  Am
The fact you even showed up,
C                         G
Verifies the feelings you had.


[Chorus]
       Am                      C
I'm convinced if my worries present 
in a hurry,
     G
I'll try to keep my name off your 
list.
            Am
Everybody's playing by their own 
rules
                   G
And it's making me feel sick.
   Am                           
Convinced my actions should have 
 C
given me traction
       G
Long before I had to fall in the 
mix.
            Am
Everybody's playing by their own 
rules,

And you think I'm full of it.


[Bridge]
G
"We're gonna see what you're made 
of"
G
"We're gonna see what you're made 
of"


[Chorus]
       Am                      C
I'm convinced if my worries present 
in a hurry,
     G
I'll try to keep my name off your 
list.
            Am
Everybody's playing by their own 
rules
                   G
And it's making me feel sick.
   Am                           
Convinced my actions should have 
 C
given me traction
       G
Long before I had to fall in the 
mix.
            Am
Everybody's playing by their own 
rules,
