Nickel Deams chords by Guy Smith
Guitar chords with lyrics
Verse 1: C B7 I've stumbled in the gutter, I’ve walked a crooked line A7 Em Told myself to do right, but I failed nearly every time B7 A7 I bought a pack of dreams, but they all blew away C Em Like cigarette ash escaping from the tray Chorus: B7 C7 B7 When your dreams ain't worth a nickel, and you pray that hope is kind A7 C You double down on nothing, ‘cause you put nothing on the line B7 C7 B7 And you roll snake eyes yet again, your luck turns from bad to worse A7 Em As fate walks away laughing, and your prayer becomes a curse
Verse 2: C B7 Just an old denim jacket, and boots needing repair A7 Em Abandoned love in the rear view, and a 20 yard vacant stare B7 A7 A million faded yesterdays, tomorrow's alibis C Em Directionless, with a nagging cough behind bloodshot eyes Verse 3: C B7 I bet big on the game, but life took all the stakes A7 Em Expectations expired fast, deepening all these aches B7 A7 Family passed or walked away, anchors tossed aside C Em Self-inflicted wounds from self-inflicted pride Chorus: B7 C7 B7 When your dreams ain't worth a nickel, and you pray that hope is kind A7 C You double down on nothing, ‘cause you put nothing on the line B7 C7 B7 And you roll snake eyes yet again, your luck turns from bad to worse A7 Em As fate walks away laughing, and your prayer becomes a curse Verse 4: C B7 Maggie you might have rescued me, if I had just allowed A7 Em Turn up my jacket collar, as the rain falls from clouds B7 A7 Stumble to the train yard, freight cars aren’t heading home C Em My nickel dreams bought me nothing, but sadness to the bone Chorus: B7 C7 B7 When your dreams ain't worth a nickel, and you pray that hope is kind A7 C You double down on nothing, ‘cause you put nothing on the line B7 C7 B7 And you roll snake eyes yet again, your luck turns from bad to worse A7 Em As fate walks away laughing, and your prayer becomes a curse
