Chords with lyrics

C majorC  E minorEm  FF  G+G x2

C majorC                  E minorEm
A augmentedA man once said that the pinnacle of success
FF                G+G
Is when you've finally lost interest
C majorC      E minorEm      FF    G+G
In money, compliments, and publicity
C majorC                     E minorEm
A augmentedA noble enough idea, I suppose
FF                      G+G
How on earth he does this, heaven only knows
C majorC                  E minorEm
I know I need a lot more of all three of those
         FF       G+G
Before I ever have the nerve to turn up my nose
          C majorC   E minorEm      FF   G+G
At any money, compliments, and publicity

C#C#          G+G
I'm broke as the Ten Commandments
FF           G+G
Sometimes I'm harder to follow

C majorC                E minorEm
I don't know whether to walk to school
       FF                  G+G
Or take my lunch, should've worn my watch, it's true
C majorC              E minorEm
You may think you see a man who is looking for attention,
FF                      G+G
But you're looking at a man who has lived
                C majorC
Through a little bit of poverty,
     E minorEm        FF     G+G
Some anxiety, some scrutiny

C majorC                    E minorEm
If I ever do get my money together,
FF                       G+G
I'm gonna take care of all of my friends
C majorC
Buy an island, run a phone line, call 'em
             stop
E minorEm   FF
Tell 'em all to get f**ked
FF            C majorC
Oh! That oughta take care of them
         E minorEm
Just be me and my money,
   FF             G+G
And my compliments, and my publicity
C majorC               E minorEm             FF     G+G
Sing it with me: "money, compliments, and publicity"

G+G
It's an issue for me,
FF                  G+G
I went to see this therapist
         FF                   G+G
She said, "Just do the best you can do"
C majorC              FF
Do the best you can do...
C majorC              FF
Do the best you can do...
G+G                         FF
I was hoping for something more specific

C majorC E minorEm FF G+G C majorC E minorEm FF G+G  C majorC E minorEm FF G+G  FF  G+G  FF G+G

C majorC                              E minorEm
A augmentedA man once said that the pinnacle of success
FF                       G+G
Is when you've finally lost interest
C majorC       E minorEm               FF  G+G
In money, compliments, and publicity
C majorC                       E minorEm
Many years later, another man would say all that again
FF                   G+G
But not for the sake of inspiring men
C majorC
But rather 'cause he got nine songs
E minorEm
And knows he needs at least ten
FF                              G+G
Before he can go back to town and turn 'em all in
C majorC                 E minorEm       FF        G+G
To get money--you guessed it--compliments, publicity

C majorC    E minorEm     FF    G+G
Money, compliments, and publicity
C majorC   E minorEm    FF    G+G
Lord, I'm gonna take it to the bank
C majorC   E minorEm    FF   G+G
I said money, I love the compliments and the publicity
C majorC  E minorEm    FF    G+G
I got so many people to thank
C majorC  E minorEm    FF    G+G
I wanna thank Clive Davis
C majorC  E minorEm     FF    G+G
I wanna thank the Good Lord up in heaven above
C majorC    E minorEm    FF    G+G
And all my fans for my money, my compliments, and my publicity
C majorC    E minorEm    FF    G+G
Money, compliments, and publicity
 C majorC     E minorEm   FF    G+G
Lord, I would bathe in
C majorC    E minorEm   FF    G+G
Money, compliments, and publicity
C majorC    E minorEm    FF    G+G
Money, compliments, and publicity
