[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
[Interlude]

[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
[Outro: All]
Money won't pay, workin' all day
F#
Money won't pay, workin' all day
F#
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
B F#
Money won't pay, workin' all day
G#m G#m7 D#m7 C#
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Bmaj7 B F#
Money won't pay, workin' all day

Money won't pay, workin' all day

Money won't pay, workin' all day...
