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 houses, 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
