[Verse 1]
Ebdim7                 C
Jacqui loves her work, and her work 
is love
          | D        Dsus4 | D |
For there is no other
          Ebdim7                   
She says "God has given me a job", 
C
Jacqui loves her work
      | D        Dsus4 | D |
There is no other
Ebdim7                            
Jacqui's aiming for the stars but 
C
landed on the clouds
      | D        Dsus4 | D     
There is no other
Dsus4 |

Ebdim7                     C
Sitting in her corner too afraid to 
run away
       | D                   Dsus4 |
Like a slave without chains
 D |
