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 
Oh yes I know that somethin' bad has gotta change
