Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
Yea, well [G]I spent a lifetime
Just makin' up my mind to [D]be,
More than the measure of
What I thought others could see.
[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Good luck and those fast bucks
Are too few, and too far [C]between,
Those other [D]Cadillac drivers
And those old five and dimers like [G]me.

[Verse 3]
[G]
You know, she stood beside me,
[D]Tellin' [G]me she wou[D]ld be
something to lean on,
When everything ran out on [G]me.
No fenced yards ain't hole cards
Like as not, never will [C]be.
Any [D]reason for rhymers
And those old five and dimers like

[Interlude 1]
me.
[D][G][D][G]
[D][G][D][G]
[C][D]
[G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Now I've searched for so long,
Now that I've found that I be[D]lieve
All that I do or say
Is all I ever will [G]be.

[Verse 5]
[G]
Too far and too high and too deep
Ain't too much to [C]be.
Yeah, [D]too much just ain't enough
For those old five and dimers like me.
[G]

[Verse 6]
I guess an [D]old five and dimer

[Outro 1]
Is all I intended to be.
[D][G][D][G]
