G                C 
A poor man would kill for the bank, 
G                    C 
But a rich man would die for it, 
G                           C 
If that's the case when I'm running this race, 
G                           C 
It's the last place I waste time. 

G                           C 
Cause see time is money and money breaks hearts, 
G                          C 
But you can buy yourself a new girlfriend, 
G                                  C 
She'll be a cold eyed woman with a greedy eye, 
G                          C 
Waitn' for your old ass to die. 

D          C     G 
And I'm so happy here with you, 
D               C       G 
Cause you're my type of girl, 
D                        C     G 
You never cared about my empty piggy bank, 
D                           C     G 
Or the things that we could never do, 
(Uh-huh) 
 

G                       C 
So give to the poor and pray for the rich, 
G                              C 
Cause you never know when your hearts gonna quit, 
G                                             C 
So if you're working for a paycheck, then you better cash in, 
G                         C 
Cause life's too short to never have lived, 
 

G                      C 
See, I've been working my whole life, 
G                                C 
Trying to prove the pissy people wrong, 
G                                          C 
That you can earn an honest living with an old guitar, 
G                          C 
And a couple old fashioned songs.
