Nickel For Goodbye
RACOON
(ron) CAPO 4
Em Bm Em Bm
I almost went to your house
Heard something about
A way to forget about things
But the newspaper said
There's bad weather ahead
So, I kept on staying in bed
And in broke the day
It sure broke the day
And the neon commercials
They were screaming and saying
"You should get up 'cause you got shit to do"
Meanwhile, people all dress up and do what they do
It doesn't mean that I have too
Bm C
Just give me a nickel for "I'm sorry"
D G
And a nickel for my pride
C D Em
Give me a nickel for the things I've done wrong in my life
C D
Give me a nickel for friendship
G Em
And a nickel for the fights
Am B7
Give me a nickel for hello
Em
Give me a nickel for goodbye
Some fools remember all that they say
And forget about all that they hear
Well, I don't wanna be that fool that goes blind through the day
I wanna hear what I need to hear
Just don't break my heart
Just don't break my heart
And good friends remember good times that they got
And then bury the bad ones for later
A few words of wisdom I gladly forgot
'Cause mistakes I've been making for ages
Bm C
But they don't give a nickel for "I'm sorry"
D G
And no nickel for what's right
C D Em
No nickel for the things I've done wrong in my life
C D
No nickel for friendship
G Em
And two shits about the fight
Am Bm
And no nickel for hello
Em Bm Em Bm
Only a nickel for goodbye
Em Bm Em Bm
Just a nickel for goodbye
Instrumental break
Em Bm
And the drink, it was fading, it felt so frustrating
So, I went to your house
Though they warned me, they said there was trouble ahead
C
Still I went to that house
C
Just to get a nickel for "I'm sorry"
D G
And a nickel for my pride
C D Em
A nickel for the things I've done wrong in my life
C D
To get a nickel for friendship
G Em
And a nickel for the fights
Am B7
To get a nickel for hello
Em Bm Em Bm
Maybe a nickel for goodbye
Em Bm Em Bm
Give me a nickel for goodbye
