[Verse 1]
          Em           Bm
I almost went to your house
       Em        Bm
Heard something about
  Em        Bm          Em   Bm
A way to forget about things...
         Em        Bm
But the newspaper said
             Em       Bm
There's bad weather ahead
      Em      Bm        Em
So I kept on staying in bed
     Bm          Em   Bm   Em
And it broke the day
         Bm             Em   Bm   Em   Bm
Yeah, it sure broke the day
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
         Em      Bm
And the neon commercials
             Em          Bm
They were screaming and saying
            Em                 Bm          Em   Bm
"You should get up, 'cause you got shit to do"
            Em         Bm         Em           Bm
Meanwhile people all dress up and Do what they do
            Em       Bm     Em
It doesn't mean that I have to
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 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"

[Verse 3]
 
 Em           Bm    Em            Bm
Some fools remember all that they say
       Em         Bm            Em   Bm
And forget about all that they hear
               Em            Bm             Em                Bm
Well, I don't wanna be that fool that goes blind through the day
         Em          Bm      Em
I wanna hear what I need to hear
      Bm             Em   Bm   Em
Just don't break my heart
      Bm              Em   Bm   Em   Bm
Just don't break my heart
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
     Em             Bm           Em            Bm
And good friends remember good times that they got
     Em      Bm            Em   Bm
And bury the bad ones for later
  Em            Bm        Em      Bm
A few words of wisdom I gladly forgot
           Em              Bm         Em
'Cause mistakes I've been making for ages
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     Bm                 C
But they don't give a nickel for "I'm sorry"
         D                G
And no nickel for who'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                B7
No nickel for "hello"
                       Em  Bm  Em  Bm  Em
Only a nickel for "goodbye"
        Bm              Em  Bm  Em  Bm  Em  Bm
Just a nickel for "goodbye"

[Bridge]
 
          Em           Bm         Em          Bm
And the drink, it was fading, it felt so frustrating
      Em           Bm   Em   Bm
So I went to your house
             Em              Bm              Em     Bm
Though they warned me, they said there was trouble ahead
         C
Still I went to that house
 
 
[Chorus]
 
               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  Em
Maybe a nickel for "goodbye"
           Bm              Em  Bm  Em  Bm  Em
Give me a nickel for "goodbye"
Bm         Em
Good, goodbye
