[Verse 1]
D
It all started when I kissed you

You smiled because you knew
C
There was something set in motion
G
Only currency could move
D
You led me to an empty bench inside a public park
C
You made me wait

You watched my watch
G
And watched the sky go dark
D
I looked around and got nervous

I heard a crying crow
C G
And a tiny circle rolled our way and settled in the snow
D
You pointed at that penny

And it pointed back at you
C G
And our great emancipator told yours truly what to do

[Chorus 1]
D
He said, "We've all got money

We've all got time
C
So, let's sell the house, sell the car
G
Sell the deed to a copper mine
D
Maybe the rock of ages is just another stone
C G
The tomb is empty, children: leave this livin’ world alone."

[Verse 2]
D
I grabbed your hand and hurried

Knew we didn't have much time
C G
We left the trail and ran like hell to make it out alive
D
We scurried under bushes like a field mouse from a snake
C G
I felt a tug upon my shirt sleeve from a beggar at the gate
D
He said, "Can you spare a nickle son, I'm down to my last two."
C
I said that I was done with change
