[Verse 1]
Dm7     F
Fake it
Dm
Take the cash and all the jewels
    A
The world was made for only you
Dm7
Take it
       F
If you will
Dm
To be a magpie in the safe
F
Sure must be a tempting place
Dm7                    F
And now they let you in
Dm
Not crawling round on all fours
    A
The art shows, the marble floors
Dm7
Take care
         F
Of yourself
Dm
You see all must be amused
       A                    Bb
That's why we made the rules

[Chorus]
         F        C      Dm     Bb
Well the shaker's got the money now
    F  C  Dm F    Bb
The movers and the shakers
       F       C      Dm      Bb
They're buying up the big lots now

[Verse 2]
Dm7
Fake it
       F
If you will
     Dm
She's finding it hard
         A
She likes the big cars
Dm7                  F
Well I'm staying put
Dm                      F
Drowning in the white art
Fool is he who plays the part
Dm7              F
In nothing at all
Dm
You know they mark the banknotes
A
The ones in all the long coats
Dm7
Suffer
        F
You'll see
        Dm
To play the game without a hand
        F
You really must be a stand-up man!
