G               C             G             D 
Working all day for a mean little man 
           G        C            G         D 
With a clip-on tie and a rub-on tan 
                   Em                       C                D            G 
He's got me running 'round the office like a dog around a track 
          Em          C 
But when I get home, 
                      D               G 
You're always there to rub my back 
 
G     C 
Hey Julie, 
D                          C 
Look what they're doing to me 
 Em                 C 
Trying to trip me up 
                D           G 
Trying to wear me down 
G           C           D              C 
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it 
             Em                  C             D            G 
And I'd never make it through without you around 
 
G                  C                    G            D 
Hours on the phone making pointless calls 
            G              C                          G             D 
I got a desk full of papers that means nothing at all 
         Em                C         D           G 
Sometimes I catch myself staring into space 
  Em                       C             D                     G 
Counting down the hours 'til I get to see your face 
 
G   C 
Hey Julie, 
 D                         C  
Look what they're doing to me 
 Em                    C 
Trying to trip me up 
                D           G 
Trying to wear me down 
G         C             D              C 
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it 
            Em                  C               D            G 
And I'd never make it through with out you around 
            Em                  C                D          G 
No, I'd never make it through with out you around 
 
 
 
{Bridge} 
Em                            Bm 
    How did it come to be 
                               C 
That you and I must be 
                              D 
Far away from each other every day? 
Em                                 Bm 
     Why must I spend my time 
                    C 
Filling up my mind 
                                        D                       C 
With facts and figures that never add up anyway? 
C 
They never add up anyway

G               C              G             D 
Working all day for a mean little guy 
           G         C                       G       D 
With a bad toupee and a soup-stained tie 
                    Em                     C 
He's got me running 'round the office 
           D                G 
Like a gerbil on a wheel 
           Em                   C 
He can tell me what to do 
                   D                     G 
But he can't tell me what to feel 
 
G   C 
Hey Julie, 
  D                        C 
Look what they're doing to me 
Em                     C 
Trying to trip me up 
                D           G 
Trying to wear me down 
G          C            D               C 
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it 
            Em                    C              D           C 
And I'd never make it through with out you around 
            Em                   C            D             C 
No, I'd never make it through without you around 
            Em                   C             D             C 
No, I'd never make it through with out you around
