[Verse 1: Augustus]
F#
It's hard
            C#      A#       D#m
When you're staying way past 5
C#m7  F#     B
Every single night
         D#m   G#m
For some crazy deadline
    C#                           F#
And we're all so confined by the need
   C#     A#        D#m
To always make ends meet
C#      F#         B
'Cos if you're not earning
A#m              D#m     G#m
You could end up on the street
    B
And that's no place to live


[Pre-Chorus: Bo en]
D#m7                   C#m7     F#7    Bmaj7
Chasing dollars with a baseball bat in hand
A#            G#         D#maj7
Some folks'll never understand
            D#                 C#maj7
And they're asking you to be a man
        C
But the money won't pay, money won't pay
C#
Money won't pay, money won't pay...!


[Chorus: Augustus]
F#          C#     B         A#
Money won't pay to dance the night away
F#            C#       B      A#
So forget the rent and get on down
F#          C#   B          A#
Working all day, you sure deserve a raise
         D#m      A#           G#
So let's spin the beat and get higher
F#          C#     B         A#
Money won't pay to dance the night away
F#            C#       B      A#
So forget the rent and get on down (get on down)
 F#          C#   B          A#
Working all day, you sure deserve a raise
         D#m      A#           G#
So let's spin the beat and get higher


[Verse 2: Augustus]
C#       F#
But it's true
    C#      A#        D#m
The parties start too soon
C#m7         F#      B
When there's work to do
           F#     D#m    G#m7
But you'll always have a crew
    G#              C#
Who want to be with you
    F#
And so
          C#      A#    D#m
When it's back to work again
     C#m7   F#7       B
Just think about your friends
             A#m        D#m
And the good times they portend (Yeah! Yeah!)
    C#
No, this is not the end

[Chorus: Augustus]
F#          C#     B         A#
Money won't pay to dance the night away
