B
I sold my last hard bible
Just to pay my bills
I called my mother
F#
To reserve me in her will
B
And the pay I'm getting every Thursday night
E
Well it just don't seem enough
B
Well money can buy me a hell of a lot
F# B
But it sure won't buy me love
B
Well I bought me a car
And I bought me a roadtrain
E
The car won't go
B
The train's too slow
So I found me a mansion
On the highest hillside
E
Bigger then this town
F# B
But it don't feel like home
B
I sold my last hard bible
Just to pay my bills
I called my mother
F#
To reserve me in her will
B
And the pay I'm getting every Thursday night
E
Well it just don't seem enough
B
Well money can buy me a hell of a lot
F# B
But it sure won't buy me love
B
Well I spent my cash
On a brand new heartache
E
I spent my time
B
Trying to make it back
He took my heart
And he took my savings
E
He took the train
F#
And left me on the tracks
B
I sold my last hard bible
Just to pay my bills
I called my mother
F#
To reserve me in her will
B
And the pay I'm getting every Thursday night
E
Well it just don't seem enough
B
Well money can buy me a hell of a lot
F# B
But it sure won't buy me love
