Lyrics

Nice Guys

Well everybody's givin', and nobody's takin'

I tried to be a nice guy in the past

Well see this boy a livin'

He's sinkin' and a swimmin' and

Nobody knows he's drownin' fast

Well I met her today

A lady and a lawyer, she told me

Of my reward for all the

Things I've done the truth to her

Was none, and I lay all my

Guilt down on her

[Chorus:]

I say nice guys, they finish last

Don't give me another chance

'Cause if you do I'll take my guns

And watch you dance

I say nice guys, they finish last (x2)

Well I saw her today

You know things have changed

It's time to get my revenge

For all the things I've done

The truth to her was none

I lay all my guilt down on her

I say nice guys, they finish last

Don't give me another chance

'Cause if you do I'll take my guns

And watch you dance

I say nice guys, they finish last (x3)
