Looking For A Job
By: Todd Snider
Capo on the 1st fret
G Cadd9 G
You can't talk to me like that boss
G Cadd9 G
I don't care who you are
G Cadd9
If you don't want to have to hang your own dry wall
G Cadd9
Don't push me too far
D Cadd9 G
Boomtown work ain't hard to come by
D Cadd9 G
Boomtown workers are
D Cadd9 G
You might be the one running the show but
Cadd9 D
That don't mean you're in charge
Chorus:
G Cadd9
I was looking for a job when I found this one
G Cadd9
Don't need the work like you need the work done
G Cadd9
You look like you're under pressure
G Cadd9 G
I was looking for a job when I met you
G Cadd9 G
I'm sharing a room with two guys over at the motel 6 boss
G Cadd9 G
Sending every dime I make here home to my ex-wife
G Cadd9 G
Just did two years and 28 days
G Cadd9
With a little better aim i'd been in there for my life
D Cadd9 G
So you see, broke won't take much getting used to
D Cadd9 G
Neither will a barb wire jail house wall
D Cadd9 G
Watch what you say to someone with nothing
Cadd9 D
It's almost like having it all
Chorus 2:
G Cadd9
I was looking for a job when I found this one
G Cadd9
Don't need the work like you need the work done
G Cadd9
You look like you're under pressure
G Cadd9 G
I was already looking for a job two weeks ago when I met you, remember?
