These tables [Cm] are haunted [Bb] by the ghosts of Las Vegas
Their [Cm] chips were once mountains [Bb] but they came here [Cm] to play
They could [G] take me [Eb] if they wanted [Bb] but I have nothing worth counting
Like [C] the sands of Nevada they [Bb] go drifting [Cm] away
The lady luck still a mystery with a [Bb] head on my shoulder
And [Cm] I don't know why I [Bb] still want her to [Cm] dance
I guess that's [Eb] all history, [Bb] what it is, is I'm older
And
[Cm] I'm still a fool for [Gm] a one-way [Cm] romance
[Eb] Her dice were red rubies, they're [Ab] old and [Bb] they tumble
And [Eb] I never saw time [Ab] rolling out with [Bb] my roll
And [Gm] in a [Cm] wasteland of cut glass my [Eb] [Bb]
dreams have all crumbled
And [Cm] I paid with whatever I had [Bb] left for a [Cm] soul

Now the [Cm] dawn's broken even on [Bb] an empty horizon
No [Cm] reason for falling, no [Gm] reason to [Cm] stay
It's too soon to be [Eb] leaving, [Bb] too late for criticizing
And [Gm] the [Cm] sands of Nevada go [Gm] drifting [Cm] away
