Intro: F G Em F
F G Em A
I would be a liar if I pretended to admire
F G C7
The red light windscreen cleaning empire that you've built.
F G Em A
But my heart is good, it's not a thing of stone or wood
F G C
I'll give you fifty cents to take away my guilt.
C G Am Em
I give money to folk that just don’t have enough
Am Em F G C
to try to justify the future purchases of stuff that I don’t need.
G Am Em
I know that one less vodka cranberry tonight
Am Em F
and I could feed some foreign family for a fortnight
G Dm7
But I might just have one more.
Em7
After all, what is vodka for
F G
Apart from making you wanna shag your best mate's wife
Dm7 Em7 F G C G
Dampening the guilt you feel about your perfect life.
C G
Fuck the poor
Am Em
What is all this hoo-ha for?
Am Em F G
There's only one reason I'll phone 1800 034 034.
Dm7 Em7
It's the force that drove Teresa and that school that Oprah built
F G C G
I'll give you fifty bucks to take away my guilt
C G
Fuck the poor
Am Em
I'm not pretending anymore
Am Em F G
That I really give two shits about some kids in Bangalore
Dm7 Em7
I'm more interested in footy than seeing the Solomons rebuilt.
F G C G/B Am G
But I'll give you fifty bucks to take away my guilt
F G C
I'll give you fifty bucks to take away my guilt
