[Verse 1]
Em                              G
The things I do for money, I'll never understand
  C                             Bm
I used to be quite critical but now I find I'm cynical
Em                          G
A lady with a starving baby miles away from me
   C
No problems there, just life and death
Bm
What the hell is wrong with me
    Em        G     C  Bm
And everybody else

[Verse 2]
Em
No questions asked
                      G
Just get receipts and write them off
C                      Bm
Expenses - taxes are a bitch these days
        Em
Yet the lady and the baby starve while
G                          C
Waiting for a contribution in a UNICEF box
     Bm                            Em   G C Bm
In a drugstore in this ugly little town


[Chorus]
    Em
The things I do for money
     G
I'll never understand
    C
The world is just a marble
       Bm         Em
In the palm of my hand
    G          C
The palm of my hand
    Bm         Em   G C Bm
The palm of my hand
    Em
The things I do for money
     G
I'll never understand
    C
The world is just a marble
       Bm         Em  G C Bm Em G C Bm
In the palm of my hand


[Verse 3]
Em                                  G
The things I waste my time on, I'll never understand
  C                              Bm
I used to be quite practical but now I find I'm tactical
  Em
I scrape and scheme and struggle hard
   G
To get myself ahead
     C                         Bm Em G C Bm
Have no concern for anyone but me


[Chorus]
Em
The things I do for money
     G
I'll never understand
    C
The world is just a marble
       Bm         Em
In the palm of my hand
    G          C
The palm of my hand
    Bm         Em
The palm of my hand
    G          C
The palm of my hand
    Bm         Em
The palm of my hand

In the palm of my hand
