Title: Goin' For Broke
Artist: The Great Divide
Album: Goin' For Broke
Key: G
Author: McClure


G                        Em
Sunlight, thru the window  it's hurting my head
C                                                D
There's a trail of smoke filled clothes from the doorway to my bed
G                                    Em
Outside the sun is shining and the temperature's just right
C                               D       C          G
It's another beautiful Saturday I ruined on Friday night


Clock on the dresser, reads a quarter past one
But I got a lay here a while so I don't come undone
Billfold on the table, but I know my money's gone
C                        D                            D7
That don't bother me any, I know what I'm spending it on

CHORUS
G                                      Em
I'm going for broke, till my last dimes gone
C                            D                       D7
I'm paying drink by drink to help this heartache move on
                   G                  C
I'm going for broke, till she's out of mind
                     D                 C         D      G
And I'd rather lay in bed all day, then miss her all last night


Well I guess I'll be allright, once the night begins
As a juke box wales in the corner, I'll be sittin' with my friends
And I laugh about you leavin', but I wanna make amends
Tonight I'll just call out for one more, if I can find one more dollar to
spend.

CHORUS X 2
G          C          D                C          D         G
And I'd rather lay in bed all day, and rest this heart of mine.
