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
