The Wages
Hozier
[Intro] Bdim -7 [Verse] Although many contend G# Bdim You may find hope ascend To mark just how everything changes Whether the temperature highs G# Bdim Or the sea level rising It’s all going up but the wages And murdered reporters G# Bdim And talk of hard borders Sky-bound as a heavenly choir Cm7 Gaug/B Or the stock price in Boeing The screams of the dying Or the skies over Yemen last night [Chorus] It’s all going up but the wages And maybe it’s time It’s all going up but the wages And maybe it’s time [Verse 2] Don’t mention the rent G# Bdim Or the money that’s spent Keeping the banks in good health Or ridiculous claims G# Bdim Or the level of blame Pointed to anything else And preachy musicians G# Bdim And those stuck in prison With scarcely enough for a blunt Or the pressure of blood G# Bdim That new hotel in the hood With an oligarch’s name on the front [Chorus] It’s all going up but the wages And maybe it’s time It’s all going up but the wages And maybe it’s time It’s all going up with the bump in the heating bills Even though the city’s on fire It’s all going up but the wages And maybe it’s time [Bridge] / #/ #/ N.C. Higher and higher and higher #/ N.C. Higher and higher and higher Bdim D#7 G# N.C. Higher and higher and higher / #/ #/ N.C. Higher and higher and higher #/ N.C. Higher and higher and higher Bdim D#7 G# N.C. Higher and higher and higher [Chorus] It’s all going up but the wages And maybe it’s time It’s all going up but the wages And maybe it’s time It’s all going up with the bump in the heating bills Even though the city’s on fire It’s all going up but the wages And maybe it’s time [Outro] / Bdim /
