Verse:

             D5

Well they're shutting all the shops up on the avenue 

            F#5	            G5              D5

And they're holding out for cheaper Chinese food 

       D5

If I'm older now and have a tainted attitude 

            F#5             G5               D5

Why'd those neon lights all lose their common blue?



Chorus:

         E5             C5        D5

And it's not like me to feel so important

         E5             C5                D5

And it's not like me to go and wreck your day

      E5                C5           D5

And I never thought I'd see it so exploited 

         B5                  C5	            D5

Ah but I know that somethin' bad has gotta change

         B5                  C5	            D5

Oh yes I know that somethin' bad has gotta change



(verse)

Well I see 'em working round the block till six a.m. 

The thermometer's at minus five degrees 

And I'm wondering where all that hard earned money goes 

To her head or towards a shred of dignity 



(chorus)

And it's not like me to feel so important 

And it's not like me to go and wreck your day 

And I never thought I'd see it so exploited 

Ah but I know that somethin' bad has gotta change 

Oh yes I know that somethin' bad has gotta change 

Go!

And it's not like me to feel so important 

And it's not like me to go and wreck your day 

And I never thought I'd see it so exploited 

Ah but I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
