Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

She called me up today

Meet me down at the old café

I jumped into the shower

I was getting my marching orders

Chorus

We need to talk

Step into my office, baby

I wanna give you the job

 A chance of overtime

 Say, my place at nine?

(verse chords)

She'd never stand for any lies

She's got an Out Tray full of guys

I could sense a breath, a whole new feeling

Now she says she wants to call a meeting

(play chorus)

Bridge

 I'm a slave to work

 I'm only living when I walk amongst the office staff

 And catch up with the office wag

 I'll be in bed by nine

 My curtains drawn

 My thoughts composed

 I get to work on time

(verse chords)

She gave me some dictation

But my strength is in administration

I took down all she said

I even took down her little red dress

(chorus chords)

We need to talk

Step into my office, baby

I wanna give you the job

I'm pushing for a raise

Been pushing now for days

Bridge 2

My output is in decline

I was burned out after Thatcher

My banner I laid down with a sigh

Now I doubt if I'll ever catch her

(verse chords)

I've got to change my ways

Dress for business every day

A smart suit and a kipper tie

A big arrow pointing to my fly

(chorus chords)

We need to talk

Step into my office, baby

I wanna give you the job

A chance of overtime

Say, my place at nine?
