Seems everyday I'm gettin' harder pressed
          Dm
To find a reason to shave
G7                              C
Watchin' the hours just slippin' away
No motivation to get out of bed 
          Dm
And carry on the charade
G7                               E 
Caught in a dream that's goin' astray
 
    A7                    Dm
Oh, all those great expectations
           G
Seems they never work out, never work out
               C
The way that I plan
A7                         Dm
All those great expectations
         G    
Why they never work out, never work out
             C
I can't understand

C
And just when I think that things are goin' right
        Dm
I get a call from L.A.
G7                              C
Sorry to say "we're changin' your song"
                                                     Dm
I try to reason but I can't get through they're gonna do it their way
G7                                  E 
What can I say, they've never been wrong

    A7                    Dm
Oh, all those great expectations
           G
Seems they never work out, never work out
               C
The way that I plan
A7                         Dm
All those great expectations
         G    
Why they never work out, never work out
             C
I can't understand

E7                                          A7
Life is just a game of chance, I think somebody said so
