I Wasted A Nickel Last Night

	  		G 
I put a nickel in the telephone 

C 
To find out dear if you'd be home 

D7                     G 
I wasted a nickel last night 



I guess I've wished a million times 

C 
It hadn't been a party line 

D7                     G 
I wasted a nickel last night 


  C 
I heard you tell a friend of mine 

G 
That I was not the one 

A7 
Why did you play me for a fool 

D7 
So you could have your fun 


G 
If I had known it from the start 

C 
It might have saved a broken heart 

D7                       G 
The nickel I wasted last night 



I lost a nickel but I lost much more 

C 
It seems I hear it o'er and o'er 

D7                     G 
I wasted a nickel last night 



My castles have all fallen down 

C 
I saw them tumble to the ground 

D7                           G 
A nickel changed it all last night 


    C 
But someday when your world gets lonely 

G 
And your friends are few 

A7 
The door of love is open dear 

D7 
I'm waiting here for you 


G 
A nickel has it's story told 

C 
Of love not worth its weight in gold 

D7                     G 
I wasted a nickel last night
