Cash in Your Face – Stevie Wonder Song Chord/Tab and Lyric

———————–……………..

from ‘Hotter Than July’ (1980)

Intro:

D9 G (x8)

Verse 1:

[(D9] You just could not [G)]know,
How long we tried,
To see how this building,
Looks inside.

This must be a lucky day for me,
Because the sign says,
There’s a vacancy.

Bridge 1:

Look I know you came a long way,
But you made it just too late;
So we had to give it to some-[G/A]body else.

Well I talked to you on the phone,
Less than fifteen minutes ago;
And you told me that it was cool.

Verse 2:

I graduated from Harvard U.
My job is paying good money too.
And if you check on my resume;
You’ll find they all,
Wanted me to stay.

Bridge 2:

Well I can’t take the time out,
To check your credit card,
‘Cos the com-puter,
Just broke [G/A]down to-day.

Well I’ll stop by here tomorrow,
To com-plete our interview,
But I know what you’re gonna say.
(I know what your bottomline is);

Chorus 1:

You might have the cash,
But you cannot cash in your face;
D9 G, D9 G
We don’t want you living in here.

Say you might have the cash,
But you cannot cash in your face;
D9 G, D9 G
We don’t want you living in here.

Break:

Too-oo, too-oo…
[G/A] Too bad.

Too-oo, too-oo..
[G/A] Too sad.

Interlude:

D9 G, D9 G (x2)

Verse 3:

[(G)] Our first child,
Is due here any day;
Due here any day,
That’s why we’re desperate,
For a place to stay.

The lo-cation is,
So perfect too,
So please try to do,
What you can do.

Bridge 3:

Well in this apartment complex,
No children are allowed;
And if you told me that,
I could have saved you a-[G/A]lot of time.

Well I thought the Bill was passed,
That said you could not discriminate?
But I know some ex-cuse you’ll find.
(Because your bottom line is);

Chorus 2:

You might have the cash,
But you cannot cash in your face;
D9 G, D9 G
We don’t want you living in here.

Say you might have the cash,
But you cannot cash in your face;
D9 G, D9 G
We don’t want you living in here.

Coda:

Aye, you might be a great doctor,
You might be a great lawyer.
You might possess the key to the city,
Or maybe a poli-tician.

You might have the cash,
But you cannot cash in your face;
D9 G, D9 G
We don’t want you living in here.

Say you might have the cash,
But you cannot cash in your face;
D9 G, D9 G
We don’t want you living in here.

(Repeat to Fade)
