Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Something isn't right

 I don't know how I know

 But baby, it's despite

 Your dog-and-pony show

 I can hear it coming

 You're only going through the motions, baby

 With your engines humming

 You're just going through the motions, baby

Going through the motions, baby

 Feel like I'm in jail

 With you and Mr. Hyde

 A guy who leaves a trail

 About a mile wide

 So it starts already

 That you're just going through the motions, baby

 You can throw confetti

 But you're still going through the motions, baby

Going through the motions, baby

 They'll have a big parade

 For every day that you stay clean

 But when the trumpets fade

 You'll go under like a submarine

 And you won't see it coming

 No, you won't see it coming

 You could have it made

 Up there in San Rafael

 But baby, I'm afraid

 I'll never see you well

 Because I've seen the tally

 And you're just going through the motions, baby

 To a big finale

 That comes from going through the motions, baby

Going through the motions, baby

Going through the motions, baby

 You're just going through the motions, baby
