A man once said that the pinnacle of success
 F                                                               G 
Is when you've finally lost interest
 C                     Em                     F             G 
In money, compliments, and publicity
 C 
A noble enough idea, I supposeea
 F 
How on earth he does this, heaven only knows
 C                                                                       Em 
I know I need a lot more of all three of those
                                   F                           G 
Before I ever have the nerve to turn up my nose
                                         C         Em                       F           G 
At any money, compliments, and publicity
 C#                                     G 
I'm broke as the Ten Commandments
 F                                           G 
Sometimes I'm harder to follow
 C                                                             Em 
I don't know whether to walk to school
                             F                                                                       G 
Or take my lunch, should've worn my watch, it's true
 C                                                       Em 
You may think you see a man who is looking for attention,
 F                                                                                     G 
But you're looking at a man who has lived
                                                               C 
Through a little bit of poverty,
                     Em                             F                   G 
Some anxiety, some scrutiny
 C                                                                             Em 
If I ever do get my money together,
 F                                                                                         G 
I'm gonna take care of all of my friends
 C 
Buy an island, run a phone line, call 'em
               Em                                           F(stºp) 
Tell 'em all to get f * *ked
 F                                             C 
Oh! That oughta take care of them
                                   Em 
Just be me and my money,
           F                                                 G 
And my compliments, and my publicity
 C                                                           Em                                                   F                 G 
Sing it with me: "money, compliments, and publicity"
 G 
It's an issue for me,
 F                                                                     G 
I went to see this therapist
                                   F                                                                         G 
She said, "Just do the best you can do"
 C                                                       F 
Do the best you can do...
 C                                                       F 
Do the best you can do...
 G                                                                                                   F 
I was hoping for something more specific

 C                                                                                                                     Em 
A man once said that the pinnacle of success
 F                                                                                           G 
Is when you've finally lost interest
 C                           Em                                                           F     G 
In money, compliments, and publicity
 C                                                                                           Em 
Many years later, another man would say all that again
 F                                                                           G 
But not for the sake of inspiring men
 C 
But rather 'cause he got nine songs
 Em 
And knows he needs at least ten
 F                                                                                                                       G 
Before he can go back to town and turn 'em all in
 C                                                                   Em                           F                                         G 
To get money--you guessed it--compliments, publicity
 C             Em                   F               G 
Money, compliments, and publicity
 C           Em             F               G 
Lord, I'm gonna take it to the bank
 C           Em               F           G
