I don't Know the album version of this, i worked it out from an acoustic
version from the old grey whistle test, it kinda just drops straight in, so
there might be more to the intro. also, im not too sure the chords behind the
harmonica solo are correct, but the sound alright.

D E A F#m A F#m

A                        C#m
Hanging around is holding me down
                  F#m  D            A  F G
I'm starting to frown at everyone I see,
A                                C#m
I'm taking the calls and playing the halls,
                F#m  D             A  
but staring at walls is all I ever see.

         F#m
So is the money I make
               C#m
worth the price that I pay?
           F#m                       C#m
Can I make it to the end of the line?
            D
Don't the wind blow cold
        E
when you're hanging your soul
       A F#m A F#m
on the line?

           A          
And you're driving to work
                    C#m
you're wearing your shirt
                    F#m D
you're dialing the dirt
                      A F-G
with everyone you see.
        A
You're taking a loss,
         C#m
you envy the boss,
                     F#m D
you're counting the cost
                       A
of everything you see.


         F#m
So is the money you make
               C#m
worth the price that you pay?
           F#m                       C#m
Can you make it to the end of the line?
            D
Don't the wind blow cold
        E
when you're hanging your soul
       A F#m A F#m
on the line?

Oooh, and you know that it's true
           A
that I've watched you go far
          C#m
playing guitar
            F#m D
being a star
                  A F-G
for everyone to see.
        A
And I'm filming my dreams
        C#m
from limousines
                    F#m D
and thinking of scenes
                    A
for everyone to see.

So is the money you make

Don't the wind blow cold

when you're hanging your soul
       A F#m 
on the line?
