Lookin' for spare change to put gas in my car
            {D A Bm 
But what I found won't get me very far
                  {E A A7 
Seems lately the low times have hit me pretty hard
      {D A Bm 
Cause I'm a few cents short
                         { G } 
>From gettin' to where you are
                        {A D 
 CHORUS: 

I'm a few cents short of holdin' you in my arms

{A G 
>From fallin' apart

So I walked to a pay phone down the road            
{D A Bm 
But a few dimes and a nickel is all I hold            
{E A A7 
The operator wants more money to place my call      
{D A Bm 
But I'm a few cents short                               
{ G } 
If that don't beat it all
