[Verse]
Fm Fm/Eb
By the concrete
Fm/D
By the palm trees
Fm/C#
What a pretty massacre on the street
Fm Fm/Eb
In a dark cloud
Fm/D
In a blackout
Fm/C#
Everybody is what they need to be

[Chorus]

Bbm Ab Eb
What a nice day for a rat race

Everybody chasing your long tail
Bbm Ab Eb
Have a nice day in the rat race

Everybody knows how the game’s played

(x2)

[Verse]
Fm Fm/Eb
In a nice cream
Fm/D
In a cemetery
Fm/C#
What a pretty pic for it all might seem
Fm Fm/Eb
In the wrong crowd
Fm/D
In the wrong town
Fm/C#
You can play the person you don’t want to be

[Chorus]

Bbm Ab Eb
What a nice day for a rat race

Everybody chasing your long tail
Bbm Ab Eb
Have a nice day in the rat race

Everybody knows how the game’s played

Bbm Ab Eb
(x2)

Bbm Ab Eb
What a nice day for a rat race

Everybody pulling the same face
Bbm Ab Eb
Have a nice day in the rat race

Everybody knows how the game’s played
