B 
I sold my last hard bible 
 
Just to pay my bills 
 
I called my mother 
   F#  
To reserve me in her will 
        B                  
And the pay I'm getting every Thursday night 
         E 
Well it just don't seem enough 
     B  
Well money can buy me a hell of a lot 
        F#               B 
But it sure won't buy me love 
  
                   B 
Well I bought me a car 
 
And I bought me a roadtrain 
              E 
The car won't go 
                B 
The train's too slow 
 
So I found me a mansion 
 
On the highest hillside 
                 E 
Bigger then this town 
       F#               B 
But it don't feel like home

But it sure won't buy me love 
 
 
                B 
Well I spent my cash 
 
On a brand new heartache 
           E 
I spent my time 
                  B 
Trying to make it back 
 
He took my heart 
 
And he took my savings 
            E 
He took the train 
    F# 
And left me on the tracks
