In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel
B Bmaj7
In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
G#m G#m7
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
C# F#
When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime
F# B Bmaj7
Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you
G#m G#m7
When I'm on the ground I roll through town
C# F#
I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around
B
I'm a dime
F#
I'm fine
C# F#
And I shine I'm freshly minted
B F#
I am determined not to be dented
C# F# B F# C#
By a car or a plane or anything not yet invented

B
I'm a dime

I'm fine

And I shine

In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds
B Bmaj7
As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around
G#m G#m7
There's a ringle jingle near the underpass
C# F#
There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash
B
I'm a dime
F#
I'm fine
C# F#
And I shine I'm freshly minted
B F#
I'm silver-plated I'm underrated
C# F# B F# C#
You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call
B F# C# F#

B
I'm a dime

I'm fine
C# F#
And I shine

I'm a dime

And I shine
