D                    Bm
Been hanging rock for twenty-odd years now
           D                      Bm
Six days a week and I can't keep up
           D                           Bm
My shoulder burns like a grinding gear box
              A                      G
These young crews are too fast and tough
          D                Bm
I'm on my way down to the pawnshop
         D                 Bm
A couple hundred is all I need
       D                  Bm
If I have to I'll hit the blood bank
         A                     Em
I'm bone dry but I can always bleed

[Chorus]
         G                 Bm
Schemers scheme around the edges
         G                Bm
Dreamers dream of better days
                            E
Everyone knows what the catch is
     G                       D
It's all about the take home pay

[Verse]
             D               Bm
I got some Oxy to keep me moving
           D                   Bm
It slowly takes some things away
          D                      Bm
The only thing I was scared of losing
           A              G
She packed up and left today
             D                    Bm
Well I guess she got tired of waiting
         D                  Bm
For the man she thought I'd be
             D                    Bm
In the end you can't really blame her
              A                    Em
We're all scrappin' for the do re me

[Chorus]
         G                 Bm
Schemers scheme around the edges
         G                Bm
Dreamers dream of better days
                            E
Everyone knows what the catch is
     G                       D
It's all about the take home pay

[Verse]
             D                    Bm
Could take a job down at The Home Depot
             D                    Bm
It's half the pay but I'd still get by
             D                    Bm
There's a new gal working at the scanners
           A                       G
I think I caught her giving me the eye
             D                    Bm
Or there's a guy that I know from high school
             D               Bm
Could set me up at the Super 8
         D                    Bm
Selling pills to the red-eyed truckers
       A                 Em
Coming in off the interstate

[Chorus]
         G                 Bm
Schemers scheme around the edges
         G                Bm
Dreamers dream of better days
                            E
Everyone knows what the catch is
     G
It's all about the take home
     G                        D
It's all about the take home pay
