^DAnd you mea^Gsure for ^F#mwealth by the thi^Angs you can hold ^D ^DAnd your me^Gasure for ^F#mlove by the sweet^A things you're told^D And you ^Dlive in the ^Gpast or the d^F#mream that you're ^Ain ^DAnd your selfishn^Gess is your cardin^Aal sin ^D

And you want to be held with the highest regard It delights you so much if he's trying so hard And you try to conceal your ordinary ways With a smile or a shrug or some stolen cliché

'Cos d^Gon't you unde^Arstand ^D And d^Gon't you look^A about ^D I'm ^Gtrying to tak^Ae noth^Ding from you So why s^Ghould you act^F#m so put o^Aut for ^Dme ^G ^F#m ^A

'Cos emotionally you're the same basic trip And you know that I know of the times that you've slipped So don't try to impress me you're just pins and paint And don't try to charm me with things that you ain't And don't try to enchant me with your manner of dress 'Cos a monkey in silk is a monkey no less So measure for measure reflect on my said And when I won't see you then measure it dead 'Cos don't you understand and don't you look about I'm trying to take nothing from you

So why s^Ghould you act^F#m so put o^Aut And sit ^Gthere and won^F#mder and d^Aoubt for m^De ^G ^F#m ^A
