"Land Of The Bottom Line" - by John Gorka 1990

Capo at 2nd fret
Play the first two lines of chords for the intro

Bm                 A       E              F#m    
I couldn't bribe a wino on what I used to make

   D              A           E
My fortune was as sure as the wind

Bm                A          E              F#m   
But I was free to wander and time was on my hands

D              A           E
It was mine to burn and to bend


(Chorus)
F#m         D        E                 F#m
Freedom for freedom, call that an even scheme

D               A             E  
Give me time to wonder and to dream

F#m           D      E                F#m
I'll take the money, they'll take the time

D           A                  E                   F#m  
Down to the land of the bottom line, to the bottom line


Then there came the chance to make some steady dough
Bouncing up my alley to the door
You fill your clothes with keys and damned responsibilities
Trading the maybe for the sure

(Chorus)

All I ever wanted was to be a kid and play
Fighting every change along the way
I don't like work, but I don't like waste
And I don't like waiting for a taste

(Chorus)
