       A
I wake up in the morning I'm thinking of you
In dollars and cents in high heel shoes
I start to think and the headache goes boom
I'm counting the bills that are stacked to the moon

    F
The money I'm giving to you
                   A
I could live on forever (on the sunny side)
F
What can I do so my life
                      A
Turns around for the better (God knows that I tried)

Chorus:
     Dm          F
The taxman woman I keep running
C                  A#
Can't you see it's only money
Dm           F
Taxman woman I keep running
C                  A#
Can't you see it's so hard honey

                    A
To keep up with you
To keep up with you
Yeah yeah
That's right

I work twice as hard what else can I do
To make up the part that's been taken by you
If it wasn't for you I would be rich
But instead I'm a poor son of a bitch

The money I'm giving to you
I could live on forever (on the sunny side)
What can I do so my life
Turns around for the better (Got knows that I tried)

Chorus:
Taxman woman I keep running
Can't you see it's only money
Taxman woman I keep running
Can't you see it's so hard honey
Taxman woman I keep running
Can't you see that it ain't funny
Taxman woman I keep running
Can't you see it's so hard honey

                    A
To keep up with you
To keep up with you
Yeah yeah
To keep up with you
Whooo whaaa

The money I'm giving to you
I could live on forever (on the sunny side)
What can I do so my life
Turns around for the better (Got knows that I tried)

Chorus:
Taxman woman I keep running
Can't you see it's only money
Taxman woman I keep running
Can't you see it's so hard honey
Taxman woman I keep running
Can't you see that it ain't funny
Taxman woman I keep running
Can't you see it's so hard honey
