[Verse 1]
G D
There's a penny on the floor and you're gone,
C G
the television's on.
D C
Have you found another man to take my place.
G D
There's a penny on the floor and I'm wise,
C G
I try to see in your eyes.
D C
But all I see is a reflection of my face.

[Verse 2]
G D
There's a penny on the floor and you're gone,
C G
I'm trying to right what's wrong.
D C
A stronger man might do it with more grace.
G D
There's a penny on the floor and I'm wise,
C G
I look up to the skies.
D C
I cry and pray, and I stare out into space.
[Chorus]
G
There's a penny on the floor,
D
and you're standing at the door
Em C
turn around and say goodbye.
G D C
A woman like you comes around just once a life.

[Verse 3]
G D
There's a penny on the floor and I'm strong.
C G
I'll try to carry on,
D C
Realizing no one can take your place.
G D
There's a penny on the floor and I'm fine.
C G
I know it's gonna take some time
D C
Before I look at you without looking at my own face.

Penny on the floor...I'm tired of the war...

[Verse 4]
G D
There's a penny on the floor and it stays,
C G
as a tribute to the days
D
That were spent with you,
C
no one can take them away.
G D
There's a penny on the floor and it stays,
C G
as a tribute to the ways
D C
You filled my soul with courage, hope and grace.
[Outro]

There's a penny on the floor,
D
and you're standing at the door
Em C
turn around and say goodbye.
G D
A woman like you comes around...
C D G
who won't bring me down.
