I Wasted A Nickel Last Night Chords & Lyrics - Hawkshaw Hawkins

[G]I put a nickel in the telephone

[C]To find out dear if you'd be home

[D7]I wasted a nickel last [G]night


I guess I've wished a million times

[C]It hadn't been a party line

[D7]I wasted a nickel last [G]night

I [C]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]The nickel I wasted last [G]night


I lost a nickel but I lost much more

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

[D7]I wasted a nickel last [G]night

My castles have all fallen down

[C]I saw them tumble to the ground

[D7]A nickel changed it all last [G]night

But [C]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]I wasted a nickel last [G]night
