Verse 1

D#
Telephones ringing jet planes a 
leaving
G#
Another deadline to beat
Fm                      Gm
Driven by desire to get all I ever

But still my life seemed incomplete
 G#

The crazy schedule the constant 
shuffle

A Workin' late every night

The pleasures of wealth

another song to sing
