C5
As sad as it may seem
       D5
I call pennies in between
      G5               F5               C5 
These cushions a good means of saving dimes

I never claimed that I'd be rich
      D5
Never said I would try
           G5              F5                C5
But I live well enough to eat and Ill live long enough to die

C5        
So dont sell what you can keep 
         D5
sell it high or sell it cheap
           G5                F5
For you'll miss it just the same, 
              C5
poor boy poor me

C5
Well my mother's a millionaire now
D5
she spends it in the clouds
             G5               F5                C5
so i skipped town hopin' somehow to drown it out
C5
And im sure some day ill hit it big as well
     D5                               G5
sad enough, only time will tell as to when
F5                    C5
or what it's all about


C5        
So dont sell what you can keep 
         D5
sell it high or sell it cheap
           G5                F5
For you'll miss it just the same, 
              C5
poor boy poor me

C5
They say the devil will take your soul
              D5
They say this world aint no place to call home 
   G5                 F5                C5
I dont know, I often pay it all no mind
C5
And as sad as it may seem
         D5
I called pennies in between
        G5               F5                C5
these cushions a good means of saving dimes


C5        
So dont sell what you can keep 
         D5
sell it high or sell it cheap
           G5                F5
For you'll miss it just the same, 
              C5
poor boy poor me

C5
I said dont sell what you can keep       
         D5
sell it high or sell it cheap
           G5                F5
For you'll miss it just the same, 
              C5
poor boy poor me
