The zutons put a little aside
EmFive timDes a year, I'll return
EmWith a fake pay package that DI didn't earn
EmIt's the benefits and little bits I make sure DI've got
EmI'm the one who works the oil rigs, but reallDy I'm not
EmI've got a wife and kid on the lower stateD  
EmAnd it all started when I won a bet with my mDate
EmHe said, "You couldn't get her," I said, "I cDan"
EmI kissed her at the bar and this affair beganD  
so
GEach time you make a little money
DPut a little aside for me
EmSo I can love you better
DWhen you come home to me
You gotta
GEach time I make a little money
DI'll put a little aside for you
EmSo I can love you better
DWhen I come home to you
EmTwo years down the line, I've got it worked Dout
EmI've got a shift in the summer
and the winter Dleft out
EmMy wife thinks I'm crazy because I work all the tiDme
EmBut she doesn't even notice, or even realizeD  
EmBut one day I must choose between my love and affaiDr
EmAnd I don't think I've got the guts
DI ain't got the nerve
EmIt's such a hard decision to make me choose oneD  
EmBut what they don't know won't hurt them
DSo I'll just carry on
so
GEach time you make a little money
DPut a little aside for me
EmSo I can love you better
DWhen you come home to me
You gotta

DI'll put a little aside for you

The zutons put a little aside

Em D

Five times a year, I'll return

Em D

With a fake pay package that I didn't earn

Em D

It's the benefits and little bits I make sure I've got

Em D

I'm the one who works the oil rigs, but really I'm not

Em D

I've got a wife and kid on the lower state

Em D

And it all started when I won a bet with my mate

Em D

He said, "You couldn't get her," I said, "I can"

Em D

I kissed her at the bar and this affair began

Each time you make a little money

Put a little aside for me

So I can love you better

When you come home to me

You gotta

Each time I make a little money

I'll put a little aside for you

So I can love you better

When I come home to you

Em D

Two years down the line, I've got it worked out

I've got a shift in the summer

and the winter left out

Em D

My wife thinks I'm crazy because I work all the time

Em D

But she doesn't even notice, or even realize

Em D

But one day I must choose between my love and affair

And I don't think I've got the guts

I ain't got the nerve

Em D

It's such a hard decision to make me choose one

But what they don't know won't hurt them

So I'll just carry on

Each time you make a little money

Put a little aside for me

So I can love you better

When you come home to me

You gotta

Each time I make a little money

I'll put a little aside for you

So I can love you better

When I come home to you

Em D Em D

Em D

I've got a wife and kid on the lower state

Each time you make a little money

Put a little aside for me
