  			Verse 
C   D   G 
She was hanging at the hard and fast saloon 
       D 
He was due to go on break real soon 
C                                     G    D 
She set the trap and she laid out all the bait 
G 
He had a room at the hungry heart motel 
          D 
He was a guitar picker so what the hell 
C             D                G     D 
She knew that he could hardly wait 
G 
She gave him a look as he stepped off the stand 
D 
Walked up to the bar and took hold of his hand 
        C                                       G      D 
She was sipping on a drink that some poor cowboy bought 
G 
She told him he was better than Willie or Hag 
            D 
And she was only one payment behind on her Jag 
         C                                      G 
Then she rolled her eyes and asked him what he thought 
    C  D 
And he said 

Am 
Money talks and bullshit walks 
    Bm 
And everything I own you could put in a box 
C                         D 
All my money ever said to me was so long 
C                            D 
All my bullshit ever did was get me walked on 
Am                                                C 
And left me up there singing the same old song of loving her right 
              G      C  D 
And doing her wrong, baby 

Chorus 
G 
Everybody wants to be somebody 
D                                      Am    C 
Everybody wants to have somebody, but please 
             Em 
Listen to me honey 
G 
I'm living proof that love?ll kill you 
D                                              Am  C 
And I ain't the one that?s gonna fulfill your needs 
                       D 
I ain't in it for the money 
                      G 
I'm not in it for the money

Chorus

Everybody wants to be somebody

I'm living proof that love?ll kill you 
D                                              Am  C 
And I ain't the one that?s gonna fulfill your needs 
                       D 
I ain't in it for the money 
                      G 
I'm not in it for the money
