Bm       F#m        G
I can't shake this feeling
At the end of each day
That I keep on working hard
But all I do is get paid
Though I keep believing
There's a light up ahead
Cause it's only getting darker
And I could stay in my bed

        A                  Em
It's a fight, it takes so long
          A                 G
But I've learned to hold my own

Chorus:
       D          G D/F#  D
So I stand and I wait in line
               Bm           G         D
With a heavy head and this bottle of wine
       D             G  D#/F# D
And I watch as they steal my time
   Bm          A       G
I stand and I wait in line
   Bm          G       Bm
I stand and I wait in line

I walk home in the shadows
I carry my cage
And I hope they notice
What I brought to the stage

'Cause it's a fight and it takes so long
But I've learned to hold my own

Chorus

A                        Bm
Ooh, whenever it gets inside
            A
It gets so hard to hide
                    D
Whenever it gets inside
A                            Bm
Ooh, I know you'll turn out right
                  A
Giving it all my life
                        G
I know you'll turn out right

Chorus:
And I stand and I wait in line
With a heavy head and this bottle of wine
And I vow as they steal my time
I know one day I'll get mine
And I stand here and wait in line
I stand and I wait in line
I stand and I wait in line
