D
In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel
G Gmaj7
In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
Em Em7
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
A D
When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime
D G Gmaj7
Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you
Em Em7
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 Gmaj7
As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around
Em Em7
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
