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
f**k 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
f**k the poor
        Am            Em 
I'm not pretending anymore
       Am              Em               F            G
That I really give two sh*ts 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
