[Intro] | C F | Em G | | C F | Em G | [Verse 1]
C         F           Em            G              C
  And you measure for wealth by the things you can hold

         F           Em          G                   C
And your measure for love by the sweet things you're told

        C           F           C                 G
And you live in the past or the dream that you're in

    C           F            G        C
And your selfishness is your cardinal sin
[Verse 2]
C         F          Em        G         C
  And you want to be held with highest regard

     F             Em           G         C
It delights you so much if he's trying so hard

        C         F           C       G
And you try to conceal your ordinary ways

      C           F             G      C
With a smile or a shrug or some stolen cliche
[Chorus]
      F        G    C
'Cos don't you understand

     F        G     C
And don't you look about

    F         G    C
I'm trying to take nothing from you

   F              Em         G              C   F Em G
So why should you act so put out        for me
[Verse 3]
C       F         Em           G          C
  'Cos emotionally you're the same basic trip

        F           Em          G                 C
And you know that I know of the times that you've slipped

         C         F              C             G
So don't try to impress me you're just pins and paint

     C            F             G              C
And don't try to charm me with things that you ain't
[Verse 4]
C           F         Em                G         C
  And don't try to enchant me with your manner of dress

        F        Em        G         C
'Cos a monkey in silk is a monkey no less

   C           F         C           G
So measure for measure reflect on my said

    C            F            G          C
And when I won't see you then measure it dead
[Outro]
      F        G    C
'Cos don't you understand

     F        G     C
And don't you look about

    F         G    C
I'm trying to take nothing from you

   F              Em         G
So why should you act so put out

    F             Em         G             C  F Em G C
And sit there and wonder and doubt     for me

F Em G C
