Working Man's Cafe

Looking for the working man's café
In the shopping center of the town
Looking for somewhere to fit in
In among the retail outlets

Bought a pair of new designer pants
Where the fruit and veg man used to stand
I always used to see him there
Selling old apples and [Bm]pears

Chatting up the pretty girls
With knocked off goods in the van

Don't you [A7know he was [Am7]a working man
Long [Am]ago he was [Am7]a working man
And we sat in the working man's café
The working man's café

Everything around me seems unreal
Everywhere I go it looks and [Bm]feels like [F]America
We've ɾeally come a long [Am]way down this ɾoad
Improving our surroundings as we go
Changing our ɾoots and [Bm]culture
But don't you [A7know

Long [Am]ago there was [Am7]a working man
Don't you [A7know we were all [Em]working men
And we'd sit and [Bm]pass the time of day
At the working man's café

I thought I knew you [A7then but will I know you [A7now?
There's gotta be [Am]a place for [Dm7]us to [C7]meet
I'll call [Em]you [A7when I've found it
I only hope that life has made us a little more grounded
Hey man, I see you [A7now.

Oh oh, we were all [Em]working men
And here we are at the working man's café

It's ɾeally good to [C7]see us come so far
But haven't we forgotten who we are
Taking out a larger loan
Equity ɾelief and [Bm]mortgages

We all [Em]seem [A]to [C7]pass the time of day
Online at the internet cafe
And if you [A7forget my [A]face
In case you've forgotten just who I am
I'm the kid with the greasy spoon
Firmly held in my [A]hand

Don't you [A7know I was [Am7]a working man
Long [Am]ago we were all [Em]working men
And we sat and [Bm]spent the time of day
At the working man's café
Yeah, at the working man's café
