Vanities are only charity
And she makes donations
at the Tiffany's
Life is hard without a credit
card to get by get by
She sold her dreams for security
To a man that now she
hardly ever sees
With a cold martini in her hand
she don't mind don't mind
So throw all your
luxuries aside
You can't take them
with you when you die
Still when I look into your
Eyes are full of dollar signs
Oh reach into a
pocketful of dreams
Oh now before they
fall out of the seams
Oh take a chance don't
matter if you fail
you're too scared to try
cause you might break a nail oh
Post Chorus: Gm--Cm-- x2
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
(Repeat Refrain)
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
Chorus 2: Silence
Oh reach into a
pocketful of dreams
Oh now before they
fall out of the seams
Oh take a chance don't
matter if you fail
you're too scared to try
cause you might break a nail oh
(Repeat Chorus 1 twice)
