    Am                 B7/A  E7sus/A          A5
         Look at the weather,     look at the news
Am                B7/A         E7sus/B   A5
 Look at all the people in denial
      Am               B7/A
We're    running time,     leaving grace
 E7sus/A                 A5
Still we worship at the marketplace
     Am                      B7/A         E7sus/A  A5
While    common sense is goin' out of style
Dm                            Am
  I thought that I would be above it all by now
Dm                 F            E
 In some country garden in the shade

                      Dm7-Dm6  Dm7-Dm6
But it's business as usual
         Am7-Am6 Am7-Am6
Day after day
             Dm7-Dm6  Dm7-Dm6
Business as usual
              Am7-Am6 Am7-Am6
Just grinding away
                 Dm7-Dm6  Em7-Dm6
You try to be righteous
              Am7-Am6 Am7-Am6
You try to do good
                  F
But business as usual
E                       Am
  Turns your heart into wood

Am                 B7/B  E7sus/B             A5
   Monuments to arrogance      reach for the sky
Am                    B7/B        E7sus/B   A5
Our better nature's buried in the rubble
Am                     B7/B       E7sus/B             A5
  We got the prettiest White House     that money can buy
Am                  B7/B         E7sus/B   A5
Sitting up there in that beltway bubble
Dm                               Am
   The main jefe talks about our freedom
Dm                 F            E
  But this is what he really means...

            Dm7-Dm6  Dm7-Dm6
Business as usual
                Am7-Am6 Am7-Am6
How dirty we play
            Dm7-Dm6  Dm7-Dm6
Business as usual
                      Am7-Am6 Am7-Am6
Don't you get in the way
                    Dm7-Dm6  Dm7-Dm6
Yeah, make you feel helpless
                         Am7-Am6 Am7-Am6
Make you feel like a clown
             F
Business as usual
E                Am
  Is breakin' me down

 F                     E                 Am
   Boy, you can't go surfing in Century City
Dm                                  E                  Am
  Yeah, them sharks out there are lurking beneath the curb
              F               E                         Am    Dm
  Yeah, they rob you blind, chew you up, and it ain't pretty
             F                          Bb
And it's a soul suckin', soul suckin', soul suckin', soul suckin'
 E
Soul suckin', soul suckin' world

Dm Am Dm  Am  Dm  Am  F  E

             Dm7-Dm6  Dm7-Dm6
Business as usual
            Am7-Am6 Am7-Am6
Day after day
              Dm7-Dm6  Dm7-Dm6
Business as usual
                    Am7-Am6 Am7-Am6
Feel like walking away
                Dm7-Dm6  Dm7-Dm6
A barrell of monkeys
                Am7-Am6 Am7-Am6
Or band of renown
             F
Business as usual
E                  Am  B7/A  E7sus/A   A5
   Is breakin' me down
                Am  B7/A  E7sus/A   Am
Breakin' me down
