Your Next Tyres  (by Henk Hofstede)

      Am

Am                C
All you gentlemen you save all you can
    D         E
But you won't get rich
Am               C
I am wide awake, you are sound asleep
D         E
You won't get me
   D#                    D
     I'm drowning in the middle of an ocean
   D#                   D
     I'm swimming in an ocean of tears
   D#                   D                       Am
     I'm drowning but I will not show emotion or fears


All you gentlemen you try the best you can
But you won't beat me
I am wide awake, you are sound asleep
You won't get me
     I'm drowning in the middle of an ocean
     I'm swimming in an ocean of tears
     I'm drowning but I will not show emotion or fears

     Am
       I try to sleep in this little room that I have bought

       (You have to do it on your own)

       I draw the curtains and everybody knows I'm old
                                  G
       (You have to do it on your own)
                                F
       We sleep on pillows of society
     G                        F
       We rise in offices and work till nightfall
     G                            F
       We keep the books of every industry
     G                             Dm7              Am
       We're closing factories and we don't care at all


              D#  D  D#  D  D#  D   Am

Am                C
All you gentlemen you are sound asleep
     (D)       E
'cos you're so tired
Am                  C
All you care about, all you care about
    (D)       E
Are your next tyres

Your next tyres              (12 x)
