Here I sit a nobody with no-one,
Bein’ me ain’t really all that fun.
Leavin’ her wasn’t very smart,

Admittin’ I was wrong wouldn’t be so hard.

If it was cool to be a fool,
I’d be the hippest guy around.
If a heartache made you famous,

I’d be known from town to town.
If tears were made of pennies,
And a cold beer brought her back.
My bank account and self esteem,
Would both be in the black.
If some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad,
About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had…
Hey, I could [Dm7(add9)]be a star,
If it was cool to be a [C(add9)]fool.

But we all know the way it really is,
You don’t get recognized for doin’ things like this.
You spend a lotta time feelin’ sorry for yourself,

It doesn’t really mean that much to anybody else.

If it was cool to be a fool,
I’d be the hippest guy around.
If a heartache made you famous,

I’d be known from town to town.
If tears were made of pennies,
And a cold beer brought her back.
My bank account and self esteem,
Would both be in the black.
If some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad,
About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had…
Hey, I could [Dm7(add9)]be a star,
If it was cool to be a fool.

#(Verse 1)
Sittin’ at a poker table
Holdin’ kings and threes
So far lady luck, hmm
Sure has been good to me
I should quit while I’m ahead, but I’ll hang around instead
And the dealer asked, “What would you settle for?”
N/C A
And I said just a little more,

(Chorus 1)
I need just a little more
A little more than I’ve got
And I’ve got all that I can spend
And I can’t spend it fast enough
But if the truth be known, I can’t quit on my own
And I spend all my life waitin’ for just a little more

REPEAT INTRO

(Verse 2)
Havin’ a drink here on my favorite stool
I know that a couple has turned into a few
And the bartender says to me
”Son, I think it’s time you leave”
If you don’t mind headin’ for the door
N/C A
But I ask for just a little more

(Chorus 2)
I need just a little more
A little more than I’ve had
And I’ve had all that a man should
And I should leave and not come back
But if the truth be known I can't quit on my own
And I spend all my life waitin’ for just a little more

LEAD: A, E, A (Bass walk E------2-1-0-------)

(Verse 3)
Too many late nights and all of the above
You’ve tried to help me for so long
But you finally had enough
And you tell me that you’re gonna leave
As you’re holding on to me
Bm (one strum) E A
But before you let me go, hold me just a little more

(Chorus 3)
I need just a little more
A little more time
Time for me to end all these hurtin’ ways of mine
And Lord, I know you give me all the strength that I need
But I’m down here on my knees prayin’ for
Just a little more
Just a little more
