In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel
G# G#maj7
In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
Fm Fm7
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
A# D#
When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime
D# G# G#maj7
Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you
Fm Fm7
When I'm on the ground I roll through town
A# D#
I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around
G#
I'm a dime
D#
I'm fine
A# D#
And I shine I'm freshly minted
G# D#
I am determined not to be dented
A# D# G# D# A#
By a car or a plane or anything not yet invented
G# D# A# D#
G# D# A#
G#
I'm a dime
D#
I'm fine
A#
And I shine
D#
In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds
G# G#maj7
As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around
Fm Fm7
There's a ringle jingle near the underpass
A# D#
There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash
G#
I'm a dime
D#
I'm fine
A# D#
And I shine I'm freshly minted
G# D#
I'm silver-plated I'm underrated
A# D# G# D# A#
You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call
G# D# A# D#
G# D# A#
G#
I'm a dime
D#
I'm fine
A# D#
And I shine
G#
I'm a dime
D#
I'm fine
A# D#
And I shine
G#
I'm a dime
D#
I'm fine
A#
And I shine
