G                        C      G 
If i had me a nickel for every time 
        C                       D      G 
I could count on you i wouldn't have a dime 
                                        C          G 
If I could turn your so-called love into cold hard cash  
         C             D          G      D/F#   
It would turn my life around real fast 
Em7                                 Cadd9 
If I could take the heartaches, the letdowns of the past 
Cadd9                                      D 
Count em all up, and cash em all in make a quick stop at the bank 



           Cadd9 
Id be on a boat somewhere, out in the ocean 
                                               G 
Fishin' for a cold beer and sun tan lotion and floatin' 
Cadd9 
Livin' it up, soakin' it in instead of sittin' round here worried bout where ya been 
           D                                  Cadd9 
If i could trade the lies you told for gold i swear... 
          G 
Id be on a boat somewhere 


verse 2 
      G                       Cadd9  G 
Id be spendin' them new found dollar bills 
        Cadd9                D         G 
Finally catchin' a buzz that you can't kill 
                                       Cadd9    G 
And it'd be hard to think about you on Key West time 
            Cadd9                      D            G      D/F# 
Between the water and the sand and the salt and the lime 
Em7                                    Cadd9 
If these blues where greenbacks I'd be rakin' it in 
                                                  D 
Instead of sittin' round here just waitin' for my ship to come in 




           Cadd9 
Id be on a boat somewhere, out in the ocean 
                                               G 
Fishin' for a cold beer and sun tan lotion and floatin' 
Cadd9 
Livin' it up, soakin' it in instead of sittin' round here worried bout where ya been 
           D                                  Cadd9 
If i could trade the lies you told for gold i swear...
