"Loose Change," by Andrew Peterson

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

                C                             A7                      D
And if I had one wish, I’d wish I wasn’t sinking here 

Cdim                      Em
Drowning in this well 

                          A
Oh, can’t you tell 



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

                                      D
Well, I’ve been face down 

                         G            B7
And pushed aside 

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

                                      D
Than lie here in the sun 

         Cdim                         Em
And watch you pass me by 

           D                           C
Cause I ain’t worth a dime 


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

G/B       D/A      G/B    C      G/B     D


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

                                  D           G
I wouldn’t have to lie and wait 

                            C      G
I’d get up and roll away 

                              D
And never be ignored 

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

                                         D       G
Than just a piece of copper ore 

                                        C       G
Turning green and looking for 

                                  D
The reason I was born 



                   C                                 G
Well, I’ve been around since 1964 

                                            D
In banks and bottom drawers 

                               G       B7
And on railroad ties 

                     C
I’ve been passed around and cast aside 

     G
Skipped and flipped and flattened wide 

  D                            Cdim                     Em                 D
Spun around and thrown away and left alone to lie 


[Chorus] 


G                                     C         G
But I heard about a penny found 

                          D              G
Lying underneath the couch 

                                             C            G
By a woman who was kneeling down 

                                      D
Looking for some change 

                                    C           G
Then the woman danced around 

                                 D                     G
And called her friends all over town 

                                     C         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      Cdim                                    Em         D
Like all the gold a king and queen could measure 

                   C                  D                  G
You see, even just a penny is a treasure
