all broken down this way 
                 D5
but even if you saw me baby

Verse 2:
A woman like you needs all the finer things
and I knew that from the start . . . right from the start
I don?t have much to offer you baby 
Just this old broken heart . . .just this old broken heart baby
If heartaches were nickels,                        
I wouldn?t be crying, crying in the dark baby . . . 
A5   D5   A5   A5 
   oh no I won?t

Chorus:
        D5
Yes if wine and pills were hundred dollar bills 
        A5
    yeah I might keep you satisfied 
        D5                            
    If broken dreams, were limousines, 
        E5 
          I might take you for a ride yeah
          A5   A5    A5       A5
All I can do,      is think of you 
    D5                       F5
and wish you were here by my side 
       C5                D5       
Yes if heartaches were nickels, 
F5                  E5           A5     D5    A5   E5
 I'd might be the richest fool alive
