[E]
I hear [C#m] the clicking of the [E] dominoes, you're shaking [C#m] up a game.
[A] And if we [E] lose a hand, I bet I'll know just [A] who's to blame.
[E]
[C#m] But if we hit 21, [E] if we [C#m] make that call, [A] I better [E] sit here in my [F#m] chair just feeling [E] ten feet tall.
And we're [C#m] caught up in the riff [E]-raff, circling [C#m] around the sun.
[A] It takes a [E] whole lot of blood and tears just to really [A] love someone.
[E] But when [C#m] it comes back around, [E] that's [C#m] heaven on earth.
[A] You never [E] know till the end, my friend, what your love has really worth.
[A] Are you cracking jokes with the common folks?
[E] Are you serving to the well-to-do?
[A] I've traveled around and I ain't found [E] nobody quite like you.
[F#m] And is all this living meant to be [C#m] or a happy accident?
[E] Well, in my heart, you pay no rent.
Well, in my heart, you pay no rent.
I hear [C#m] the crackle of a [E] campfire, you're [C#m] howling at the moon.
[A] We [E] all know that you gotta go, but does it have to [A] be so soon?
[E] Bet [C#m] somebody's yelling, last [E] call.
I hope you [C#m] get some rest.
[A] Hope you [E] found everything that you wanted in the place you love the best.
[A] Are you cracking jokes with the common folks?
[E] Are you serving to the well-to-do?
[A] I've traveled around and I ain't found [E] nobody quite like you.
And [F#m] is all this living meant to be or [C#m] a happy accident?
[B] Well, in my heart, you [E] pay no rent.
[B] Well, in my heart, you [E] pay no rent.

[A] [E] [B]
[A] [B]
[E]
Now we're shaking [C#m] up the dominoes beneath the neon light.
[A] Knowing anybody else out there couldn't put up a better fight.
[E] But [C#m] the fighting time's over, [E] [C#m] it's all gone.
[A] You pick [E] up the pieces and you try to carry on.
[A] Are you cracking jokes with the common folks?
[E] Are you serving to the well-to-do?
[A] Well, I've traveled around and I ain't found [E] nobody quite like you.
And [F#m] is all this living meant [C#m] to be or a happy accident?
[B] Well, in my heart, you [E] pay no rent.
Don't [B] cost you nothing, not a [E] single cent.
Time together was [A] time well spent.
In my heart, you pay [E] no rent.
In my heart, you pay no rent.
[B] [A] [E]
