Love is For the Middle Class Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I got m[A]y G.E.D with a[F#m] 2.2
I couldn't [D]take four [A]more
in a [F#m]business school
Just [D]to spend another [A]twenty in [F#m]a cubicle
So I got a summer job cleaning
swimming pools
[D]I saw my little [A]angel in a [F#m]one-piece suit
suit
She had a [D]high-class mind [A]mind
and her [F#m]face was cute
And [D]for the first [A]time I didn't
know [F#m]what to do
I said, "I'd better start
to make the cash
Love is for the middle [D]class"

[Verse 2]
If all I [D]had was love,
[A]would I still be lov[D]ely?
If all I gave was love,
[A]wou[Asus4]ld you give u[A]p on me?[Bm]
But if you measure love in [A]false securities

[Verse 3]
[D]I owe you not[A]hin' at [Bm]all
Don't [G]owe you nothin' [D]at all
Don't [A]need your lovin' [Bm]at all
Don't [G]owe you nothin' at [F#m]all[G][F#m]
[G]Hey
[D]

[Verse 4]
[F#m]
Your [D]daddy got in [A]trouble with [F#m]the I.R.S.
Left your [D]mama with [A]a baby
and a [F#m]pile of debt
Sent you [D]off to public [A]school
with [F#m]all the rest
Now you're lookin' for a
man who can pay the rent
And [D]for the first [A]time you
don't [F#m]know what to do
Your head [D]says no,
but [A]your [F#m]heart says true
When [D]every other [A]man just [F#m]puts you last
I said, "I'd better make the cash
Love is for the middle [D]class"

[Verse 5]
If all I [D]had was love,
[A]wou[Asus4]ld I stil[A]l be lovely?[D]
If all I gave was love,
[A]wou[Asus4]ld you give u[A]p on me?[Bm]
But if you measure love in [A]false securities

[Verse 6]
[D]I owe you not[A]hin' at [Bm]all
Don't owe you [G]nothin' [D]at all
Don't [A]need your lovin' [Bm]at all
Don't [G]owe you nothin' at [F#m]all[G][F#m]

[Interlude 1]
Hey
[Bm][A][D]
[A][Bm][Ebm]

[Verse 7]
[Em]Oh, I wouldn't mind it if we
[D]nickle and we dime it
Just to [A]be together in the end
May[D]be just a little till we
[F#m]make it to the middle
And [Bm]they're takin' half of every [B]cent
If [Em]you can find a brother that can
[D]take you from the gutter
Then I [A]get if you gotta go
But [D]does he really see you like
you [F#m]know I really see you?
Does he [Bm]love you with his rebel [B]soul
Like [Em]I can lov[D]e you, bab[A]y?
Like I do?
[D][A][D][A]

[Verse 8]
[D][A]
[F#m]I said, "I'd better make the cash
Love is for the middle class"
I said, "I'd better make the cash
Love is for the middle [D]class"

[Verse 9]
If all I [D]had was love,
[A]wou[Asus4]ld I stil[A]l be lovely[D]?
If all I gave was love,
[A]would you give up on me?[Bm]
But if you measure love in [A]false securities

[Verse 10]
[D]I owe[A] you nothin' at [Bm]all
Don't [G]owe you nothin' at all
[D]Don't nee[A]d your lovin' at [Bm]all
Don't [G]owe you nothin' at all
[D]I owe you not[A]hin' at all
[Bm]Don't owe you noth[G]in' at all
[D]Don't need your lov[A]in' at all
[Bm]Don't owe you [G]nothin' at [F#m]all[G]
Hey
