A
In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel
D Dmaj7
In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
Bm Bm7
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
E A
When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime
A D Dmaj7
Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you
Bm Bm7
When I'm on the ground I roll through town
E A
I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around
D
I'm a dime
A
I'm fine
E A
And I shine I'm freshly minted
D A
I am determined not to be dented
E A D A E
By a car or a plane or anything not yet invented
D A E A
D A E
D
I'm a dime
A
I'm fine
E
And I shine
A
In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds
D Dmaj7
As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around
Bm Bm7
There's a ringle jingle near the underpass
E A
There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash
D
I'm a dime
A
I'm fine
E A
And I shine I'm freshly minted
D A
I'm silver-plated I'm underrated
E A D A E
You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call
D A E A
D A E
D
I'm a dime
A
I'm fine
E A
And I shine
D
I'm a dime
A
I'm fine
E A
And I shine
D
I'm a dime
A
I'm fine
E
And I shine
