Lyrics and Chords
Verse 1: 0:00 Am It's six o'clock, good morning sounds Em Are everywhere. Am The warmth of spring, a gentle breeze Em Blows through my hair. 0:16 Fmaj7 I hurry through my life Em Em9 Never stopping to see Fmaj7 How beautiful G It was meant to be. 0:33 F Am I'm just a prisoner G Fmaj7 In a king's disguise, Em C Am Broken dreams G Fmaj7 | Fmaj7 G As we shuffle by. Verse 2: 0:52 Am It's six o'clock, it's quitting time. Em I'm done for the day. Am Out on the streets I overheard Em A lady say, 1:07 Fmaj7 We now have ev'rything, Em Em9 Or so people say, Fmaj7 But now this emptiness G Haunts me ev'ry day. 1:24 F Am We seek the lion's share, G Fmaj7 Never knowing why. Em C Am Come alive, G Fmaj7 | Fmaj7 G Spread your wings and fly. Chorus: 1:43 C G/C F/C F G Pieces of eight, C The search for the G/C F/C F G Mo - ney tree, Am Don't cash your freedoms in G | F F:G For gold. 1:58 C G/C F/C F G Pieces of eight C Can't buy you G/C F/C F G Ev'ry-thing, Am Don't let it turn your heart G | F To stone.
