Nice guys finish last Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]"I was [Bm]gonna talk about it,
it's like a bit happier and brighter than I thought it would be"
"Well, this isn't gonna be anywhere near the,
what [C]the finished beat will be I don't reckon"

[Verse 2]
[G]On the footpath out the front
of oxford arts
Stinging for a stiff drink in a short glass
[Bm]Junkies and cop cars rushing past
And [C]I'm thinking there could be
a bit of [D]mischief on the cards
It was a [G]Friday night and the
[Bm]treble was clanging
And [G]the hipsters was hanging,
and the ladies was banging
So [Bm]uh, me and the fellas
are looking for companions
In [C]the corner chatting to these chicks,
tryna make [D]it happen
And [Am]as far as I can tell, it's all going swell
[D]Vibing out, just hanging
with my mademoiselle
But I [G]wasn't planning on
that everyman for himself
When [Em]my boy's step in
and start chatting as well
I figure it's game [Am]over,
that's stiff competition
See [D]my man's got a way with women
Self fashioned cas[G]anova,
the other has a lady at home, but
[Em]He's still on a mission to fill his quota
And sure [Am]enough,
next thing you know they're both pairing up
And [D]I'm back at square one thinking,
'fuck it, I'm done'
So [G]I catch a cab home down
parramatta road
Listen to the cabby [Em]chatter
on his phone
Breath fogging [Am]up the glass,
city lights rushing past
Damn, [D]I shoulda seen it coming
from the start

[Verse 3]
Nice guys finish [G]last[Bm][G]
And good girls move too [Bm]fast,
woah- woah- [C]woah
Now you're sitting in the
[D]back of your [G]car
Thinking that you've gone too far
But you'll never [Bm]know
[G]No, you'll never [C]know (oi)
'Cause nice guys [D]finish [Am]last
Back in the day I made a [D]song I can't es[Am]cape that got

[Verse 4]
[D]
A strange response and either
played a lot or hated on
[G]Got asked a lot which cafe
the song was based upon
[Em]An d did you date at all? What ever
happened to the waitress from it?
[Am]Don't get me wrong,
I'm about as nice as the bacon was
[D]But fuck it, play along and humor me
As I re[G]wind to 2008 and teleport,
I'm staring at the [Em]salad fork
She served me with the coffee
that I drank in north
Carlton [G]half of the reas[D]on that I was
[Am]stuck with that piece [D]of shit
Cup of coffee was she was lovely
and made it for [G]me
The other half of the reason
I was so [D]comfortable
Eating there I was starved,
it was cheap [Em]and I was so crazy poor
[G]I never asked for her name
[D]'cause I was so [Am]shy
Once I'd [D]written a rhyme [G]about
her in case [D]she thought I was crazy, or
[G]Maybe she'd hate it so
I debated for [D]ages
And stayed away while I made up mind
[Em]and ate at a sandwich store
[Am]One day I thought, 'fuck it, I'll play it for her
[D]She'll probably love
it and throw her apron off
On the tab[G]letop or some fucking
fairytale in the making
So later on I went [Em]back to that cafe
holding "the waitress song"
[Am]I walked up to the counter,
smiled and waited for [D]her
And then I found out that she was

[Verse 5]
fired the day before
[G]Nice [Bm]guys finish [G]last
And good girls move too [Bm]fast,
woah- [C]woah- woah
Now you're sitting in the
[D]back of your [G]car
Thinking that you've gone too far
But you'll never [Bm]know
[G]No, you'll never [C]know
'Cause nice guys [D]finish [Am]last

[Verse 6]
And I [D]should know
'Cause I'm [G]sitting at the
back of [Em]the pack
Man, I [Am]should have seen this
coming from the [D]start
Nice guys finish [G]last
Oo[Bm]h- ooh

[Verse 7]
[G]
[Bm]Ooh- ooh- ooh- oo[G] h[Dm][E]
[Em]You see

[Verse 8]
[G]
There were [D]seven billion
people on the planet
And [Bm]you managed to make others mat
[D]ter as much as a [G]mannequin
[Bm]It's more than magic,
more than just [G]a magician
[C]Fishing another fucking rabbit
out of his hat [G]again
And you were an[D]gelic [G]as Marilyn
And you were [Bm]seen searchin'
for Jimmy Dean
And I wasn't even rappin' then
[D]Granted that I w[C]as barely even a man,
a little like Billy Madis[G]on
[D]Nah- nah, fuck it, I ain't [Bm]havin' it
Haha, fuck up, who [G]you lying to?
[Bm]She caught him riding you be l[D]ike
a spider biting you
[C]Dude you been droppin'
everything but evidently
In [G]the friendzone, rather
share a [Bm]bento box
And play [D]Nintendo than ever have
you entering the [G]bedroom
[Bm]On death row, head[D]ed home alone
While the [C]cabbie stopped for petrol
I was hangin' off my phone
On [G]some bullshit
[D]Now you're sit[G]ting in the back of your

[Verse 9]
[G]
car (your car)
Thinking that you gone too
[Bm]far (too far)
Chasing popped [G]collars at the [C]bar
The type who be paying on [G]card
[D]You ain't gotta look so hard
But you'll nev[G]er [Bm]know
[D]No, you'll [G]never [C]know
Nice guys finish last
