Where did all the money go?

INTRO
G
When I'm old and pastry grey
C
And on my last bed limply lay
D
They'll gather round to catch the last words
that I breathe

After all those years and things I've seen
Countless people and places been
The wisdom words must surely be worth the wait

Em
But I fear that I will disappoint
C
And not take that last chance to anoint
C
For it's not an answer but a question that I'll pose

That immortal question that's been asked through time
By wiser men with better heads than mine
The final question that every man asks himself

CHORUS
G
Where did all the money go?
C D
I've got to know

I must have left it somewhere
I could never have spent that much

VERSE
Em
Damn the heating bills
G
And the rate of inflation
Em
The insurance that I never used

G
And those silly vacations

BRIDGE
C D
I'll hang my head in shame
C D
Cause I've only got myself to blame

CHORUS

VERSE
If only I'd made less phone calls
And never gone a near a bar
Or made my own sandwiches
And not have bought a car

BRIDGE
If I'd put away a bit of my pay
I'd be sitting on a fortune today

CHORUS

Instrumental Chorus

MIDDLE
Am D
It's terrible when you realise
C Em
The sad part is
C D
How little happiness it bought me
Am C D
And how little there is left to show

Am C
Half of it I ate and drank
Am Em
Spent a quarter just getting around
C D
The rest of it went up in smoke
Am C ; D
Fast moving consumer guy

CHORUS
Where did all the money go?
I wish I didn't know
Someone must be stealing from me
Or there's a problem with the books

CHORUS
Where did all the money go?
All that dough
I must have left it somewhere
I could never have spent that much
