D D            G G             D D     
The drumbeat never changes tempo,
G G D D
It's steady like a rock,
G G
And like a rock it crushes
D D G G
you as it gets louder,
D D G G
The drum gets louder
D D G G
- and louder,
D D G G
And you know there is no
D D G G
parking on the dance floor,


A A F#m F#m
And when you wake up you can
B B G G D D G G
feel your hair grow,
A A F#m F#m
Crawl out of your cave and you can
B B G G D D A A
watch your shadow
Em Em G G
creep across the ground until the
B B A A D D
day is done,
Em Em G G
All the while the planet circles
B B A A D D
'round the sun,
Em Em G G
Everybody knows how this
B B G G D D G G
goes so let's get
Em Em G G
over it and let's get this
B B A A D D
over with,


[D D,G G] X4


D D G G
Even when you're out of work
D D G G
You still have a job to do,
D D G G
Even when you don't know what it is
D D G G
your job knows what it is,
D D G G
And what it is - is it's
D D G G
coming - to get you,
D D G G
I'm talking to myself
D D G G
Even when I'm saying "you,"


A A F#m F#m
And when you wake up you can
B B G G D D G G
feel your hair grow,
A A F#m F#m
Crawl out of your cave and you can
B B G G D D A A
watch your shadow
Em Em G G
creep across the ground until the
B B A A D D
day is done,
Em Em G G
All the while the planet circles
B B A A D D
'round the sun,
Em Em G G
Everybody knows how this
B B G G D D G G
goes so let's get
Em Em G G
over it and let's get this
B B A A D D
over with,


G G D D
After all the spelling mistakes
G G D D
after all the groping in the dark
Em Em B B
can this page of strange gibberish
Em Em A A
get a final punctuation mark?


[D D,G G] X4


D D G G D D G G
You're still hangin' 'round the clambake
D D G G D D G G
after every clam has been baked,
D D G G
No applause
D D G G
- awkward pause,
D D G G
Hand extended
D D G G
waiting for a shake,


A A F#m F#m
And when you wake up you can
B B G G D D G G
feel your hair grow,
A A F#m F#m
Crawl out of your cave and you can
B B G G D D A A
watch your shadow
Em Em G G
creep across the ground until the
B B A A D D
day is done,
Em Em G G
All the while the planet circles

Everybody knows how this
B B G G D D G G
goes so let's get
Em Em G G
over it and let's get this
B B A A D D
over with,

Em Em G G
Hurry up and let's get this
B B A A D D
over with,
Em Em G G
You don't have to go home but you
B B A A D D
can't stay here,
Em Em G G
Everybody knows how this
B B G G D D G G
goes so let's get
Em Em G G
over it and let's get this

For the verse and bridge, I prefer a strumming pattern like DXU-udu.
This is also how I play certain parts of the chorus, but the quick bits are a lil different.
