verse 1 
Am             C 
You think it?s all so easy 
         G                D 
When you got your name in lights 
Am             C 
Money comes in bag fulls 
        G              D 
And you spend it every night 
Em             C 
It's a happy holiday 
         G                 F 
When you fly from place to place 
Em               C 
Up at six each morning 
G                Am               F 
Slapping make up on your face... (face) 
 
F          Am 
I wish you were in our shoes 
F          Am 
I wish you could be us 
Dm               F 
Washing all your laundry 
    G 
And riding on the bus 
F          Am 
I wish you were in our shoes 
F          Am 
I wish you could be us 
Dm               F 
Washing all your laundry 
    G 
And riding on the bus 
 
verse 2 
Am        C 
Everybody loves you 
G                  D 
Sticks to you like glue 
Am            C 
Never knowing you made them 
G                  D 
Thinking they made you 
Em                  C 
Double trouble everywhere 
G             F 
Not a drop to drink 
Em               C 
Rehearsing conversations 
G                 Am       F 
I haven't slept a wink... (wink) 
 
F          Am 
I wish you were in our shoes 
F          Am 
I wish you could be us 
Dm               F 
Washing all your laundry 
    G 
And riding on the bus 
F          Am 
I wish you were in our shoes 
F          Am 
I wish you could be us 
Dm               F 
Washing all your laundry 
    G 
And riding on the bus

verse 3 
Em              C 
What a shambles of a meeting 
G                  F 
Don't know what to say 
Em                   C 
What a shambles of a bus ride 
G                    Am      F 
What a shambles of a day... (day) 
 
F          Am 
I wish you were in our shoes 
F          Am 
I wish you could be us 
Dm               F 
Washing all your laundry 
    G 
And riding on the bus 
F          Am 
I wish you were in our shoes 
F          Am 
I wish you could be us 
Dm               F 
Washing all your laundry 
    G 
And riding on the bus
