I said, "I need a little change". You said you need a little time
I I/Ib VI IV V
So I made my way downtown where I could try to clear my mind
IV IVm I I/Ib VI
I picked you up a knockoff watch and I came home to find
I V I IV I
You filled the bathtub to the brim with nickels and dimes
[Chorus]
IV III VI
Nickels and dimes, nickels and dimes, nickels and dimes
I I/Ib VI
There's a jackpot up there somewhere
IV I
I just can't seem to find
IV IV I V I IV I
And all I ever get from you is nickels and dimes
[Verse]
IV I IV I IV
Then I looked into your eyes, and you looked into mine
From the other room I heard the kettle start to whine
That was long ago, you know the pain cools down with time
By my bed I keep a jar of nickels and dimes
[Chorus]
Nickels and dimes, nickels and dimes, nickels and dimes
There's a jackpot up there somewhere
I just can't seem to find
And all I ever get from you is nickels and dimes

[Verse]
Well I wake up every morning, and I get to work on time
Once a year my boss tells me I'm doing fine
There's a jackpot up there somewhere
Oh, that I don't pay no mind
I just come home at night and count my nickels and dimes
[Chorus]
Nickels and dimes, nickels and dimes, nickels and dimes
There's a jackpot up there somewhere
That I could never find
I come home at night and count nickels and dimes
So I come home at night and count nickels and dimes
