 Intro: C. 

 C
 Singin' for my supper, so we're eating Mr. Noodles
                G                          C
 Watchin' other cats walk along the window sill.
          C 
 With our mattress on the floor and our records in the cartons,
                 G                         C
 Dreamin' of the country, running from the bills.

 Chorus 1: 
     F                 C               F             C
  If reading books was money, spinning records was investing 
     F               C        G            C 
  If drinking was consulting, baby we'd be rich 

 Goin' on a picnic, rollin' in the grass now
 The age of miracle and wonder, we're just trying to get our kicks
 I would spend my last ten dollars, buy us both tequilas,
 Leave the power company waiting, no minutes on my phone

 Chorus 1,then:

  If dreaming made us money, if singing was investing,
  If smoking it was saving, baby we'd be rich

    Bridge:
               C                   F
    I'm gettin higher, I'm getting higher, 
                G                     C 
    I'm getting higher and higher and higher

 Movin' to the country, plantin' us a garden,
 I'm cooking up the beans, was thinkin' bout some kids
 I been thinkin' lately, it's just you and me baby,
 even if we're dancin, on the margins of the skids

 Chorus 1, then:

  You been reading books, I've been spinning records,
  We've been drinking all night...baby, we are rich!
