[Verse 1]
D A
You're a good woman and a good friend
G D A
You got a good heart even when it's busted and bent
D A
Lipstick and perfume, under gram queen
G D A
Wearing loneliness like a costume for the whole world to see
[Chorus]
G
And if your money runs out
A
And your good looks fade
D G
May your kindness remain
D G
Oh, may your kindness remain
[Verse 2]
D A
Broke on a barstool, throwin' your paycheck away
G D A
On overpriced booze, slots, and valet
D A
Fortune might buy diamonds, all shiny and new
G D A
But it can't buy you happiness or love, that is true
[Chorus]
G
And if your money runs out
A
And your good looks fade
D G
May your kindness remain
D G
Oh, may your kindness remain
[Verse 3]
D
The richest of people
A
Aren't rich with Elvis, cars, or fame
G
No they're not rich with something
D A
That can be bought or arranged
D
No, it's kindness that makes them beautiful
A
And a kind heart don't cost a dime
G
It's a gift that keeps giving
D A
For the rest of your life
[Chorus]
G
And if your money runs out
A
And your good looks fade
D G
May your kindness remain
D G
Oh, may your kindness remain
D G
May your kindness remain
D G
Oh, may your kindness remain
