    Am
The handshake seals the contract
                               E
From the con-tract there's no turning back
                         Dm
The turning point of a career
                    Am
In Korea being insincere
     E           Am
The holiday was fun-packed
     E              Am
The contract, still intact

Chorus:
      C       G7     F            Am
The grabbing hands grab all they can
C        G7          F      Am
All for themselves , after all
      C       G7     F           Am
The grabbing hands grab all they can
C         G7         F     Dm
All for themselves , after all
          Am            G F
It's a competitive world
C           G7        F
Everything counts in large amounts

The graph on the wall
Tells the story of it all
Picture it now, see just how
The lies and deceit gained a little more power
Confidence taken in
By a suntan and a grin

Chorus:
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves, after all
The grabbing hands grab all they can
All for themselves, after all
It's a competitive world
Everything counts in large amounts
Everything counts in large amounts
Everything counts in large amounts

The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts

(Everything, everything)
(Everything, everything)

The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts

Everything counts in large amounts
