A Few Cents Short

Lookin' for spare change to put gas in my car

But what I found won't get me very far

Seems lately the low times have hit me pretty hard

Cause I'm a few cents short

>From gettin' to where you are

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

And a few cents short of keepin' us

>From fallin' apart

Ain't it funny, how the money

Cause I'm a few cents short

>From losing you tonight

So I walked to a pay phone down the road

But a few dimes and a nickel is all I hold

The operator wants more money to place my call

But I'm a few cents short

If that don't beat it all

CHORUS:

I'm a few cents short of holdin' you in my arms {A G D

And a few cents short of keepin' us {A G

>From fallin' apart {D A

Sure is funny, how the money can change our lives {D A Bm

Cause I'm a few cents short {G}

>From losing you tonight {A D

Yeah I'm a few cents short {G}

And I'll be losing you tonight {A D
