lyrics

Arbeit oder Liebe

em7
Vom Nachttisch der Alarm trifft mich wie ein Schlag
hm7
Schnell schlag ich zurück
em7
Dreh mich um zu Dir, schau Dich staunend an.
hm7
Und rück noch ein Stück
am
näher an Dich ran, streich ein Haar von Deiner Stirn
em
Du flüsterst meinen Namen.
am
Guten Morgen, kannst Du‘s glauben oder nicht,
F7 H7
jetzt haben wir die Wahl.

Chorus:
G Cmaj7 D em hm
Arbeit oder Liebe – ha ha Arbeit oder Liebe - ha ha
G7 Cmaj7 D em hm
Arbeit oder Liebe – ha ha Arbeit oder Liebe - ha ha
G7 G7/4 Cmaj7 D em hm Gdim Cmaj7 cm em H7 em H7
Arbeit oder Liebe – ha ha Arbeit oder Liebe – ha ha

em7
Durchs Fenster weht der Wind, bringt uns den Tag
hm7
und mir fällt gestern Abend ein.
em7
Ich hatte zwei, drei Zeilen für `n richtig guten Song.
hm7
Jetzt könnte ich den schreiben.
am
Ich küsse Deine Sommersprossen wach,
em7
vom Tisch rascheln Papiere,
am F7
das angefangene Lied, Du flüsterst in mein Ohr,
H7
wir wissen, was das heißt:

Chorus:
G Cmaj7 D em hm
Arbeit oder Liebe – ha ha Arbeit oder Liebe - ha ha
G7 Cmaj7 D em hm
Arbeit oder Liebe – ha ha Arbeit oder Liebe - ha ha
G7 Cmaj7 D em hm Gdim Cmaj7 cm em H7 em H7
Arbeit oder Liebe – ha ha Arbeit oder Liebe – ha ha
