E
In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel
A Amaj7
In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
F#m F#m7
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
B E
When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime
E A Amaj7
Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you
F#m F#m7
When I'm on the ground I roll through town
B E
I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around
A
I'm a dime
E
I'm fine
B E
And I shine I'm freshly minted
A E
I am determined not to be dented
B E A E B
By a car or a plane or anything not yet invented
A E B E
A E B
A
I'm a dime
E
I'm fine
B
And I shine
E
In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds
A Amaj7
As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around
F#m F#m7
There's a ringle jingle near the underpass
B E
There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash
A
I'm a dime
E
I'm fine
B E
And I shine I'm freshly minted
A E
I'm silver-plated I'm underrated
B E A E B
You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call
A E B E
A E B
A
I'm a dime
E
I'm fine
B E
And I shine
A
I'm a dime
E
I'm fine
B E
And I shine
A
I'm a dime
E
I'm fine
B
And I shine
E (to fade)
