Capo 2 


C 
You may have diamonds 
G 
You may have pearls 
AM 
You may think you got it baby 
F 
Over all the other girls 
C 
But honey you ain't got nothing 
G 
And I'll tell you why 
AM 
If you're empty as a soul can be, baby 
F 
Deep down inside 

C 
You better start savin' up 
G 
For the things that money can't buy 
AM 
You better start savin' up 
F 
For the things that money can't buy 
C 
You better start savin' up 
G 
For the things that money can't buy 
AM 
You better start savin' up 
F 
For the things that money can't buy 

You may have a big backyard 
And ruby rings 
And my love's just a second-place runner, honey 
To your fancy things 
But what you got to hold on to 
When the lights go down 
You come lookin' for me baby 
But I ain't nowhere around 

You better start savin' up 
For the things that money can't buy 
You better start savin' up 
For the things that money can't buy 
You better start 

You need a strong man, baby 
To love and understand you 
A man who ain't afraid, sugar 
To get some dirt on his hands for you 
And when you're feeling so down-hearted 
And all you wanna do is cry 
Ah, just come on, take my hand, baby 
Together you and I 

We could start savin' up 
For the things that money can't buy 
We'd better start savin' up 
For the things that money can't buy 
You better start savin' up 
For the things that money can't buy 
You better start savin' up 
For the things that money can't buy
