EmD
Five times a year, I'll return
EmD
With a fake pay package that I didn't earn
EmD
It's the benefits and little bits I make sure I've got
EmD
I'm the one who works the oil rigs, but really I'm not
EmD
I've got a wife and kid on the lower state
EmD
And it all started when I won a bet with my mate
EmD
He said, "You couldn't get her," I said, "I can"
EmD
I kissed her at the bar and this affair began
so
G
Each time you make a little money
D
Put a little aside for me
Em
So I can love you better
D
When you come home to me
You gotta
G
Each time I make a little money

So I can love you better
D
When I come home to you
EmD
Two years down the line, I've got it worked out
Em
I've got a shift in the summer
D
and the winter left out
EmD
My wife thinks I'm crazy because I work all the time
EmD
But she doesn't even notice, or even realize
EmD
But one day I must choose between my love and affair
Em
And I don't think I've got the guts
D
I ain't got the nerve
EmD
It's such a hard decision to make me choose one
Em
But what they don't know won't hurt them
D
So I'll just carry on
G
Each time you make a little money
D
Put a little aside for me
Em
So I can love you better
D
When you come home to me
You gotta

Each time I make a little money
