E
Is it my imagination
           F#            A                      E
Or have I finally found something worth living for?
E
I was looking for some action
    F#               A                  E
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol

Chorus:
A                     E
You could wait for a lifetime
A                          E
To spend your days in the sunshine
A                          E
You might as well do the white line
             D          A
Cos when it comes on top
                   E    D
You gotta make it happen
           A       E
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen

Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's
nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol

Chorus

E                    D           A
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta make it
E                    D           A
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta fake it
E                    D           A
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta make it
E                    D           A
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta fake it
