I don't know why the chords are so far to the right, but the chords and lyrics are all here.
Capo up somewhere between 3 and 5.
"Loose Change," by Andrew Peterson
CI’d give you all of me to know what you were thinking G  
And if I had one Cwish, I’d wish I wasn’t sinkiA7ng here D  
CdimDrowning in this well Em  
Oh, can’t you tell A  
That I caCn’t pick myself up off the ground G  
Well, I’ve been face down D  
And pushed aside G  B7  
Well, you know I’d raCther just turn tail and run G  
Than lie here in the sun D  
And watch Cdimyou pass me by Em  
Cause I ainD’t worth a dime C  
(Yeah yeah ... oh yeah...)
G/B       D/A      G/B    C      G/B     D
Chorus:
But if only I could stand up straightC, G  
I wouldn’t have to lie and wait D  G  
I’d get up and roll away C  G  
And never be ignored D  
I’ve got a feeling that I’m something more C  G  
Than just a piece of copper ore D  G  
Turning green and looking for C  G  
The reason I was born D  
Well, I’ve been aroCund since 1964 G  
In banks and bottom drawers D  
And on railroad ties G  B7  
I’ve been passed arouCnd and cast aside 
SkippGed and flipped and flattened wide 
SpDun around and thrown away and Cdimleft alone to lie Em  D  
[Chorus] 
GBut I heard about a penny found C  G  
Lying underneath the couch D  G  
By a woman who was kneeling down C  G  
Looking for some change D  
Then the woman danced around C  G  
And called her friends all over tDown G  
Told ‘em what was lost is found C  G  
It’s another penny saved D  
CSo I find that all this time 
BenD/Beath the surface, I could shine 
Like all the gold a king Dand quCdimeen could measure Em  D  
You see, even just Ca penny is a treasuDre G
