verse 1
C Am C Am
I hear the clicking of the dominoes, you shaking up a game
F C Dm F
And if we lose a hand I bet I'll know just who's to blame

But if we hit 21, if we make that call
F C Dm F C
I bet I'll sit here in my chair just feeling ten feet tall
verse 2
C Am C Am
And we're caught up in the riff-raff, circling 'round the sun
F C Dm F
It takes a whole lot of blood and tears just to really love someone
C Am C Am
But when it comes back around, that's heaven on earth

You never know till the end my friend what your love is really worth

Are you cracking jokes with the common folks? Are you serving to the well to do?

I've traveled round and I ain't found nobody quite like you

And is all this living meant to be or a happy accident?

Well in my heart you pay no rent

I hear the crackle of a campfire, you're howling at the moon

We all know that you gotta go, but does it have to be so soon?

Bet somebody's yelling last call, I hope you get some rest

I hope you found everything that you wanted in the place you love the best

C Am C Am
Now we're shaking up the dominoes beneath the neon light

Knowing anybody else out there couldn't put up a better fight

But the fighting time's over and it's all gone

You pick up the pieces and we try to carry on
