Intro

Verse 1

 I wish you could see me

all broken down this way

 but even if you saw me baby

 I know, I still couldnt make you stay

 I couldnt make you stay

 you know about the high cost of living babe

 and someday you're gonna have to pay

gonna have to pay

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 . . .

oh no I won’t

Chorus

 Yes if wine and pills were hundred dollar bills

  yeah I might keep you satisfied

  If broken dreams, were limousines,

  I might take you for a ride yeah

 All I can do, is think of you

 and wish you were here by my side

 Yes if heartaches were nickels,

I'd might be the richest fool alive
