Goin For Broke
View chords used in this chart
G Em
Sunlight, thru the window it's hurting my head
C D
There's a trail of smoke filled clothes from the doorway to my bed
G Em
Outside the sun is shining and the temperature's just right
C D C G
It's another beautiful Saturday I ruined on Friday night
Clock on the dresser, reads a quarter past one
But I got a lay here a while so I don't come undone
Billfold on the table, but I know my money's gone
C D D7
That don't bother me any, I know what I'm spending it on
[Refrão]G Em
I'm going for broke, till my last dimes gone
C D D7
I'm paying drink by drink to help this heartache move on
G C
I'm going for broke, till she's out of mind
D C D G
And I'd rather lay in bed all day, then miss her all last night
Well I guess I'll be alright, once the night begins
As a juke box wales in the corner, I'll be sittin' with my friends
And I laugh about you leavin', but I wanna make amends
Tonight I'll just call out for one more, if I can find one more dollar to
spend.
CHORUS X 2
G C D C D G
And I'd rather lay in bed all day, and rest this heart of mine.
