G5         D5
I found a wallet, 
G5         D5
I found a wallet
G5           B5               C5     D5
Inside were pictures of your small family
C5           B5     C5              B5
You were so young, your hair dark brown
C5            B5      C5    D5
You had been born in 1953
G5           D5            G5              D5
Your winter birthday was stamped on the plastic
G5    B5         C5        D5
Of a license so recently expired
C5        B5         C5                 B5
I was so tired as I walked through my door
C5             B5               C5             D5
I let all the contents of your wallet on the floor


G5               C5
And like a holy relic
G5            C5
Or a mystery novel
G5                     C5
I thumbed them in the dim light
G5              A5 
Searching for a clue-
C5             B5
A Blockbuster card,
C5               B5
An old stick of Juicy Fruit
C5          B5            C5       D5
A crumpled receipt for a pair of leather boots



G5         D5
I have no wallet,
G5         D5
I have no wallet
G5               B5              C5           D5
I keep my cards together with a blue rubber band
C5               B5     C5            B5
And with a free hand I search in my pocket
C5              B5        C5         D5
For pieces of, pieces of paper and change



G5                      D5
I'll take your wallet
G5                  D5
To my local Blockbuster
G5                 B5
They'll find your number
C5        B5
in their computer
C5            B5
You'll never know me
C5          B5
I'll never know you
C5                  B5
But you will be so happy
C5         D5           C5
When they call you up.
