[Verse]
DFound A quarter on the BmsideDwalk   A love letter in a GshoeDbox
I found a snake underBmneath a Drock
Wish I could find forEmgiveDness
A sand dollar on the BmseasDhore   An old dresser in an Gantique Dstore
A rusty whistle in the Bmbottom Ddrawer
Wish I could find forEmgiveDness
[Chorus]
GIt ain't hiding in no bottle on a Dshelf
Or lying in the Bmbed of someone Gelse
I can't feel it on some Sunday morning Dpew
And one sleepless Bmnight it dawned on Dme
The piece I Bmneed so desperateEmly
Is buried in the Done place I can't get Gto
Girl, it's Emgotta come from Dyou
[Verse]
DWas too stubborn for Bmmy own Dgood   I never listened like I Gknew I Dshould
I don't deserve it but I Bmwish you Dwould
Find me some forEmgiveDness
For every night I Bmwasn't Dthere    For all the times I Gdidn't Dcare 
I admit that it was Bmnever Dfair
Wish I could find forEmgiveDness
[Chorus]
GIt ain't hiding in no bottle on a Dshelf
Or lying in the Bmbed of someone Gelse
I can't feel it on some Sunday morning Dpew
And one sleepless Bmnight it dawned on Dme
The piece I Bmneed so desperateEmly
Is buried in the Done place I can't get Gto
Girl, it's Emgotta come from Dyou
[Bridge]
GI've seen a broom run across a floor
DTaking with it that was there before
GAnd that's the kind of Emclean I came here Alooking for
[Chorus/Outro]
GIt ain't hiding in no bottle on a Dshelf
Or lying in the Bmbed of someone Gelse
I can't feel it on some Sunday morning Dpew
And one sleepless Bmnight it dawned on Dme
The piece I Bmneed so desperateEmly
Is buried in the Done place I can't get Gto
