G Em                      Bm
    I was young and healthy

G Em                 D
    Extremely wealthy

  Bm    G      Em
I swung in the trees and did as I pleased

  Am            Bm   C   D
I thought I was rich, oh yeah

G Em                   Bm
    Such sweet seduction

G Em                     D
  I could feel the suction

Bm  G       Em
Greasing my palm and doing no harm

     Am          Bm    C
Just making some deals, what a bitch

    I had rising stock

G Em                    D
    So I got more pockets

  Bm   G        Em
I knew where to stick it, where no-one could nick it

            Am       Bm   C      D
I kinda went private, and then, aha

G Em                   Bm
    Such sweet seclusion

G Em                   D
    No more intrusion, too much

Bm    G    Em
food on my plate for there's guards at the gate

     Am Bm       C      D
Such joy I could almost die of it
[Chorus 2]
Am    G/B C

[Bridge]
C#m             A/C#        C#m      F#m/C#
Money goes to money, yes it always returns

          C#m                 A/C#           C#m        F#m/C#
Finds its way back to the big house where it lives all alone

C#m                   A/C#      C#m          F#m/C#
Wraithlike silent partners, operators of the system

     C#m                 A/C#       C#m           F#m/C#
Give words of quiet assurance to an otherwise healthy victim
G# G#7 G# G# G#7 G#
G# G#7 G#    G# G#7 G#
         oh, it's   all coming

G#       G#7 E/G# G#
back to me

G# G#7 G#   G# G#7 G#
I would swing

G# G#7 G#  G# G#7 G#
in                 the trees

G# G#7 E/G# G#
             and I'd

G# G#7 G#   G# G#7 G#
swim in the ocean
G# G#7 G# G# G#7 G#
G# G#7 E/G# G#
              I used to

G# G#7 G#    G# G#7 G#
show    some emo-     tion

G Em                 Bm
    I was not to blame

G Em              D
    I feel no shame

    Bm      G     Em
The structure was shaking, was there for the taking

  Am        Bm          C       D
I had the resources but then, oh no

G Em                Bm
    Someone outbid me

G Em                        D
    I can't take it with me?

     Bm    G  Em
Then I will devour it, I can't go without it

     Am       Bm          C
It's simply a question of  market
[Chorus 3]
Am          G/B C

Am       G/B C
ear (woo oh  oh)

Dm         F    G
  Gives me everything I

Am    G/B  C
want

Dm
  Yeah

Am    G/B C
 (woo oh  oh)

Dm      F        G
  Money talks to me

Am    G/B C
 (woo oh  oh) Yeah

Dm
  Laughs right in my face

Am     G/B C
  (woo oh  oh)

Dm         F    G
  Gives me everything I

Am    G/B  C
want, everything I
