Ab Eb
I'm a Cadillac tramp at the end of his road
Bb Eb
a swap meet rat who's sitting on gold, yeah baby
Ab Bb Eb
I'm a guitar gangster without a tune
Ab Eb
I'm the baseball bat that's waiting to swing
Bb Eb
Your loan shark friend with the broken knees yeah baby
Ab Bb Eb
I'm a penthouse pauper with nothing to do
[Chorus]
Ab Bb Eb
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm chasing nickles and dimes
Ab Bb Eb
The rest of the world passes me by
Ab Bb Eb
Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah I'm just wasting my time
Ab Bb Eb
I'm just sitting here and wondering why
[Verse 2]
Ab Eb
I'm the high rolling creep that's in too deep
Bb Eb
with the slicked back hair and the silver teeth, yeah baby
Ab Bb Eb
I'm a vagabond king with a stolen crown
Ab Eb
I'm a jailhouse poet, a genius, a fool
Bb Eb
I'm the pimp who lost his cool, yeah baby
Ab Bb Eb
I've got first class taste in a second class town
[Chorus]
Ab Bb Eb
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm chasing nickles and dimes
Ab Bb Eb
The rest of the world passes me by
Ab Bb Eb
Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah I'm just wasting my time
Ab Bb Eb
I'm just sitting here and wondering why YEAH

[Verse 3]
Ab Eb
I'm a loaded gun pointed at the mirror
Bb Eb
A drugstore cowboy whose end is near, yeah baby
Ab Bb Eb
I'm a big time schemer with broken down dreams
Ab Eb
I'm a derelict rebel without a cause
Bb Eb
I ain't the cat with the sharpest claws, no baby
Ab Bb Eb
Cause sometimes life just ain't what it seems
[Chorus]
Ab Bb Eb
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm chasing nickles and dimes
Ab Bb Eb
The rest of the world passes me by
Ab Bb Eb
Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah I'm just wasting my time
Ab Bb Eb
I'm just sitting here and wondering why
Ab Bb Eb
I'm just sitting here and wondering why
Ab Bb Eb
And just like you I'm wondering why
