[ Penny On The Floor von Clarks ]


 



G                                       D            C         G

There's a penny on the floor and you're gone, the television's on.

           D                           C

Have you found another man to take my place. 

G                                    D       C                  G

There's a penny on the floor and I'm wise, I try to see in your eyes. 

     D                               C

But all I see is a reflection of my face. 

 



G                                       D            C         G

There's a penny on the floor and you're gone, I'm trying to right what's wrong. 

           D                         C

A stronger man might do it with more grace. 

G                                       D            C         G

There's a penny on the floor but I'm wise, I look up to the skies. 

           D                       C

I cry and pray, and I stare out into space. 





Chorus:

G                                         D 

There's a penny on the floor, and you're standing at the door 

Em                   C      G                     D                    C

Turn around and say goodbye. A woman like you comes around just once a life. 

 



G                                       D            C         G

There's a penny on the floor and I'm strong. I'll try to carry on, 

           D                C

Realizing no one can take your place. 

G                                       D            C         G

There's a penny on the floor and I'm fine. I know it's gonna take some time 

           D                           C

Before I look at you without looking at my own face. 





              C                       D                   C                     D

Penny on the floor.  I'm tired of the war.  Penny on the track.  Are you comin' back? 

 



G                                       D            C         G

There's a penny on the floor and it stays, as a tribute to the days 

           D                           C

That were spent with you, no one can take them away. 

G                                       D            C         G

There's a penny on the floor and it stays, as a tribute to the ways 

           D                           C

You filled my soul with courage, hope and grace. 

 



Chorus:

G                                         D 

There's a penny on the floor, and you're standing at the door 

Em                   C           G                     D                    C

Turn around and say goodbye. A woman like you comes around who won't bring me down.
