A Few Cents Short
John Michael Montgomery   What I Do The Best

[D A Bm G A Bm-A]

Lookin' for spare change to put gas in my car		[D A Bm]
But what I found won't get me very far			[E A A7]
Seems lately the low times have hit me pretty hard	[D A Bm]
Cause I'm a few cents short 				[G]
>From gettin' to where you are				[A D]

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]
Ain't it 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]

So I walked to a pay phone down the road		[D A Bm]
But a few dimes and a nickel is all I hold		[E A A7]
The operator wants more money to place my call	[D A Bm]
But I'm a few cents short 					[G]
If that don't beat it all					[A D]

CHORUS:
BREAK:		[D A Bm G A D]

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]
