C
In the brown shag carpet of a cheap motel
F Fmaj7
In the dark and dusty corner by the TV shelf
Dm Dm7
Is a small reminder of a simpler time
G C
When a crumpled up pair of trousers cost a brand new dime
C F Fmaj7
Well you ask me how I made it through and how my mint condition could belong to you
Dm Dm7
When I'm on the ground I roll through town
G C
I'm a president you don't remember getting kicked around
F
I'm a dime
C
I'm fine
G C
And I shine I'm freshly minted
F C
I am determined not to be dented
G C F C G
By a car or a plane or anything not yet invented
F C G C
F C G
F
I'm a dime
C
I'm fine
G
And I shine
C
In the hiss and rumble of the freeway sounds
F Fmaj7
As the afternoon commuters drive their cars around
Dm Dm7
There's a ringle jingle near the underpass
G C
There's a sparkle near the fast food garbage and roadside trash
F
I'm a dime
C
I'm fine
G C
And I shine I'm freshly minted
F C
I'm silver-plated I'm underrated
G C F C G
You won't even pick me up because I'm not enough for a local phone call
F C G C

I'm a dime

I'm fine

And I shine

And I shine

And I shine
