Gm      Cm
Vanities  are only charity
Gm              Cm
And she makes donations
at the Tiffany's
Gm               F
Life is hard without a credit
            Dm     D# F
card to get by get by
Gm                 Cm
She sold her dreams  for security
Gm            Cm
To a man that now she
hardly ever sees
Gm              F
With a cold martini in her hand
          Dm         D#  F
she don't mind don't mind

D#
So throw all your
 Gm        D#
luxuries aside
You can't take them
 Gm                D#
with you when you die
              Gm
Still when I look into your
 A#               D
Eyes are full of dollar signs

Chorus:
   Gm
Oh reach into a
pocketful of dreams
    D
Oh now before they
fall out of the seams
    Cm
Oh take a chance don't
matter if you fail
        A#
you're too scared to try
           D
cause you might break a nail oh

If you design  a
plastic happiness
Then climb the social
ladder to the top my friend
And don't forget to thank the
piggy bank in the sky so high

So throw all your luxuries aside
You can’t take them with you when you die
Still when I look into your eyes
They're full of dollar signs
