Piece Of The Action Chords & Lyrics - Meat Loaf

INTRO: [G] [C] [G] [C] [D] [G]

Somewhere a red-eyed [Em]waitress
Glances at a[C]nother movie maga[Em]zine [Am]

Down on the corner there's a grocery boy
Stuffing [C]boxes full of hungry [D]dreams [C]
Someone's cleaning up the [Am]offices
One [Em]window burning [D]in the [Em]dark [C]
Somebody's crying, is there [Am]any way in [D]hell
To light a comet from a single spark? [G]

Working so hard I can't remember much
About the [C]freedom I been working [Em]for [Am]

Felt like a prisoner 'til I looked in your eyes
And saw a [C]million wide open [D]doors [C]
Ya tell me, "Put a li[Am]ttle money away
Well, every [Em]dog will have his [D]day in [Em]time"
Well, I been [C]slaving like a dog and I got [Am]nothing to show ya
But a [D]collar and a fist full of nickels and dimes

[CHORUS]
I want a [C]piece, a piece of the [Am]action
[Em]Give me a shot at the real thing
I want a [C]piece of the action, a [Am]piece of the action
Gonna [D]turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
Gonna [C]turn on the master, gonna [D]cut these strings [G]

Been living just like my old man did
And neither [C]one of us could get it [Em]right [Am]

Punching in when the day begins
And punching [C]out the local boys at [D]night [C]
There's someone leaning on a [Am]peeling porch
And someone [Em]leaving on a [D]silver [Em]plane
And I [C]finally know the man I'd [Am]rather be
Girl, I [D]won't be back to getcha 'til they know my name

[CHORUS]
I want a [C]piece, a piece of the [Am]action
[Em]Give me a shot at the real thing
I want a [C]piece of the action, a [Am]piece of the action
Gonna [D]turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
Gonna [C]turn on the master, gonna [D]cut these strings

[BRIDGE]
Well, they [Am]hand you a paycheck [C]every week
And steal a [Em]piece of your soul every day
And I don't [C]need no gold watch in [Am]fifty years
[D]Baby, let's be golden today

[CHORUS]
I want a [C]piece, a piece of the [Am]action
[Em]Give me a shot at the real thing
I want a [C]piece of the action, a [Am]piece of the action
Gonna [D]turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
I want a [C]piece of the action, a [Am]piece of the action
[Em]Give me a shot at the real thing
I want a [C]piece of the action, I've been [Am]breaking my back
Gonna [D]turn on the master, gonna cut these strings

Lead Break: [C] [Am] [Bm] [Em] [C] [Am] [D]

[CHORUS]
I want a [C]piece, a piece of the [Am]action
[Em]Give me a shot at the real thing
I want a [C]piece of the action, a [Am]piece of the action
Gonna [D]turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
Gonna [C]turn on the master, gonna [D]cut these strings [G]

OUTRO: (## slow to end ##)
Somewhere a red-eyed [Em]waitress
