Bm           Fdim  Em             Bm
Look at the weather, look at the news
Bm              Fdim         Em Bm
Look at all the people in denial

Bm                Fdim
We're running time, leaving grace
 Em                      Bm
Still we worship at the marketplace
 Bm                    Fdim          Em Bm
While common sense is goin' out of style

Em                         Bm
I thought that I would be above it all by now
Em               G              F#
In some country garden in the shade

Chorus:
                     Em7 Em6 Em7 Em6
But it's business as usual
           Bm7 Bm6 Bm7 Bm6
Day after day
              Em7 Em6 Em7 Em6
Business as usual
               Bm7 Bm6 Bm7 Bm6
Just grinding away
               Em7 Em6 Em7 Em6
You try to be righteous
               Bm7 Bm6 Bm7 Bm6
You try to do good
                G
But business as usual
F#                     Bm
Turns your heart into wood

Monuments to arrogance reach for the sky
Our better nature's buried in the rubble
We got the prettiest White House that money can buy
Sitting up there in that beltway bubble
The main jefe talks about our freedom
But this is what he really means

Chorus

G                  F#                 Bm
Boy, you can't go surfing in Century City
             Em
Yeah, them sharks out there are
F#                   Bm
lurking beneath the curb
            G
Yeah, they rob you blind,
F#                   Bm         Em
chew you up, and it ain't pretty
            G
And it's a soul suckin', soul suckin',
 C
soul suckin', soul suckin'
 F#
Soul suckin', soul suckin' world

Chorus:
Business as usual
Day after day
Business as usual
Feel like walking away
A barrel of monkeys
Or band of renown
Business as usual
Is breaking me down - x2
