Intro: D9 G (x8) Verse 1: (D9 G) You just could not know, D9 G How long we tried, D9 G To see how this building, D9 G Looks inside. D9 G D9 G This must be a lucky day for me, D9 G Because the sign says, D9 G There's a vacancy. Bridge 1: G Look I know you came a long way, F E7 But you made it just too late; G G/A D So we had to give it to some-body else. G Well I talked to you on the phone, F E7 Less than fifteen minutes ago; F7 G7 A7 And you told me that it was cool. Verse 2: D9 G I graduated from Harvard U. D9 G D9 G My job is paying good money too. D9 G D9 G And if you check on my resume; D9 G You'll find they all, D9 G Wanted me to stay. Bridge 2: G Well I can't take the time out, F E7 To check your credit card, G 'Cos the com-puter, G/A D Just broke down to-day. G Well I'll stop by here tomorrow, F E7 To com-plete our interview, F7 G7 A7 But I know what you're gonna say. (I know what your bottomline is); Chorus 1: D9 G You might have the cash, G D9 G But you cannot cash in your face; D9 G, D9 G We don't want you living in here.

D9 G The lo-cation is, D9 G So perfect too, D9 G So please try to do, D9 G What you can do. Bridge 3: G Well in this apartment complex, F E7 No children are allowed; G And if you told me that, G/A D I could have saved you a-lot of time. G Well I thought the Bill was passed, F E7 That said you could not discriminate? F7 G7 A7 But I know some ex-cuse you'll find. (Because your bottom line is); Chorus 2: D9 G You might have the cash, G D9 G But you cannot cash in your face; D9 G, D9 G We don't want you living in here.

Coda: D9 G D9 G Aye, you might be a great doctor, D9 G D9 G You might be a great lawyer. D9 G D9 G You might possess the key to the city, D9 G D9 G Or maybe a poli-tician. D9 G You might have the cash, G D9 G But you cannot cash in your face; D9 G, D9 G We don't want you living in here. D9 G Say you might have the cash, G D9 G But you cannot cash in your face; D9 G, D9 G We don't want you living in here. (Repeat to Fade)
