[Verse 1]
 
 A
You sittin here and yakkin- right in my face 
                                               G D
You comin' on exactly like you own the place
              D7                                       A        G D
You know if silence was golden - You couldn't raise a dime
              E7                            D7                A          E7
Because your mind is on vacation - and your mouth is workin' overtime
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
 A
You quotin' figures - and droppin' names
 A                                       G D
You tellin' stories - and playing games
 A
You're overlaughin' - when things ain't funny
                               A7          G D
You tryin' to sound like the big big money
             D7                                        A
You know if talk was criminal - You'd lead a life of crime
             E7                            D7                 A      E7
Because your mind is on vacation- and your mouth is workin' overtime

[Verse 3]
 
 A
You know that life is short - Talk is cheap
 A                                             G D
Don't be makin' promises that you can't keep
 A
You don't like this little song I'm singin' - Just grin and bear it
 A                       A7                 G D
All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it
        D7                                        A
If you must keep talkin - Please try to make it rhyme
              E7                           D7               A Ab G Gb7
Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin' overtime
