Keeping Score

Verse 1

Feeling like a stranger

Looking in the glass

Wondering how this change

Came to pass

Checking out the collar

Straightening up the tie

Doing what it takes

To get by

Verse 2

Counting every second

Waiting for the bell

Life is getting busy

Can you tell

Paperwork is piling

Sitting on the desk

Doing all the things

I do best

Pre-Chorus

(Day by day)

Keeping up the pace

(Work it out)

Finding my own space

Setting everything right

Chorus 1

That's the way it goes

Working for a living

Giving all I got

And then some more

Life is just a game

But I am keeping score

Knocking on the wood

Waiting by the door

Verse 3

Tired of the talk

Heading for the street

Taking every challenge

That I meet

Always on the move

Walking down the block

Turning every key

Inside the lock

Looking for an answer

Hidden in the crowd

Talking to myself

Out loud

Pre-Chorus

(Time to go)

Heading for the door

(Tell me why)

I am wanting more

Reaching for a light

Chorus 2

That's the way it goes

Working for a living

Giving all I got

And then some more

Life is just a game

But I am keeping score

Knocking on the wood

Waiting by the door

Bridge

(Whoa oh oh)

(Yeah yeah)

instrumental break

(Alright)

sax solo

(Day by day)

Finding my own space

Setting everything right

Chorus 3

That's the way it goes

Working for a living

Giving all I got

Always needing more

Life is just a game

But I am keeping score

Hammer on the wood

Kicking down the door

Outro

Whoa oh

Checking out

Yeah yeah

Going home

Just doing fine

Ow

That is mine

Hey hey

I am keeping score

Score

Yeah

Ooh

Done

Moving on now

Whoa
