E             C#m               E
Rise and shine, get on your way
                    B             A         E
By the look in your eyes, theres nothin' to say
          C#m            E
I got it all  in my hands
                      B         A      E   C#m E B
And i know that you know just where i stand
       A        E   C#m E B A
Just where is stand

One more thing
Before you go
Pick it up and then I'll hit it on down the road
I got no time
For playing games
I'm in and I'm out and it's always the same
It's always the same

Chorus:
          E
Ooh, I strut like a cock and Jack don't rock
It's all coming back to me
Oh, what a shame if it's all the same
I'll get my coat and leave
No way you're gonna work,
no way you're gonna work
No way you're gonna work on me
I said it before I'll open the door,
why is that so hard to believe?

Pick that guitar
Up in the air
Cut loose and then let down that hair
I know that you were born to shine
You gotta shine before you blow 'em away
You blow 'em away

Chorus

Get on your way - x4

Chorus:
I strut like a cock
And Jack don't rock
Get on your way
Oh, what a shame
If this is all the same
Get on your way
No way you're going to work
No way you're going to work
Get on your way
I told you before
I open the door
Get on your way
Get on your way
