  E(strum once)
They say that up in the boardroom, if your sitting like a fly on the wall.
             E(strum once)  
You could, hear the man in the suit say, we dont have time to stall.
                                                A    E(strum once)
We got deadlines to meet, Oh we got deadlines to meet!
        E(strum once)
Cause time equals money and money's alright, so ill be working past nine.
            E(strum once)  
And those fucking Europeans who vacation from September,
they aint in the right mind.
                                                A    E(strum once)
We got deadlines to meet, Oh we got deadlines to meet!
           From 1:43 to 1:59, just palm mute E (022xxx)
A (palm mute A through these lyrics)
  We need a fire, Cause a fire fire, is something we love.
                                                       (pause)
We need the time, to try try, cause its never enough.
WE GOT DEADLINES TO EMEET!A  
WE GOT DEADLINES TO EMEET!    Oh Oh Oh AOh
WE GOT DEADLINES TO C#mMEET!A  
                    C#m               A (Keep playing A, and then end on it)
