"Loose Change," by Andrew Peterson

G
I’d give you all of me to know what you were thinking

                D
And if I had one wish, I’d wish I wasn’t sinking here

Em
Drowning in this well

                          A
Oh, can’t you tell



         G
That I can’t pick myself up off the ground

                                      D
Well, I’ve been face down

                         B7
And pushed aside

                     G
Well, you know I’d rather just turn tail and run

                                      D
Than lie here in the sun

         Em
And watch you pass me by

           C
Cause I ain’t worth a dime


(Yeah yeah ... oh yeah...)

D


Chorus:
                                     G
But if only I could stand up straight,

                                  G
I wouldn’t have to lie and wait

                            G
I’d get up and roll away

                              D
And never be ignored

                                                        G
I’ve got a feeling that I’m something more

                                         G
Than just a piece of copper ore

                                        G
Turning green and looking for

                                  D
The reason I was born



                   G
Well, I’ve been around since 1964

                                            D
In banks and bottom drawers

                               B7
And on railroad ties

                     C
I’ve been passed around and cast aside

     G
Skipped and flipped and flattened wide

  D
Spun around and thrown away and left alone to lie


[Chorus]


G
But I heard about a penny found

                          G
Lying underneath the couch

                                             G
By a woman who was kneeling down

                                      D
Looking for some change

                                    G
Then the woman danced around

                                 G
And called her friends all over town

                                     G
Told ‘em what was lost is found

                                     D
It’s another penny saved



C
So I find that all this time

   D/B
Beneath the surface, I could shine

                        D
Like all the gold a king and queen could measure

                   G
