Standard (EADGBE)

Here is the money that I owe you

Yes you can pay the bills

I will give you more

 When I get paid again

I hate those people who love to tell you

Money is the root of all that kills

They have never been poor

 They have never had the joy of a welfare christmas

I know we will never look back

(repeat verse progression)

You say you wake up crying

Yes and you don’t know why

You get up and you go lay down

Inside my baby’s room

Yeah, I guess I’m doing ok

I moved in with the strangest guy

Can you believe he actually thinks

That I am really alive

I will buy you a garden

 Where your flowers can bloom

I will buy you a new car

 Perfect shiny and new

I will buy you that big house

 Way up in the west hills

I will buy you a new life

Yes I will

(repeat verse progression)

Yes, I know all about that other guy

The handsome man with athletic thighs

I know about all the time before

With that obsessive little rich boy

They might make you think you’re happy

Yeah maybe for a minute or two

They can’t make you laugh

No they can’t make you feel the way that I do

(repeat chorus progression)

I will buy you a garden

Where your flowers can bloom

I will buy you a new car

Perfect shiny and new

I will buy you that big house

Way up in the west hills

I will buy you a new life

I will buy you a new life

I know we can never look back

Will you please let me stay the night

Will you please let me stay the night

No one will ever know

(repeat chorus progression)

I will buy you a garden

Where your flowers can bloom

I will buy you a new car

Perfect shiny and new

I will buy you that big house

Way up in the west hills

I will buy you a new life

I will buy you a garden

Where your flowers can bloom

I will buy you a new car

Perfect shiny and new

I will buy you that big house

Way up in the west hills

I will buy you a new life

I will buy you a new life

I will buy you a new life
