[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][C][G][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I've spent a
lifetime making up my mind to [D]be
More than the measure of what I
thought others could [G]see
Good luck and fast bucks are
too far and too few between
[C]For Cad[D]illac buyers and old
five and dimers like [G]me

[Verse 2]
[G]She stood beside me letting me
know she would [D]be
Something to lean on when
everything ran out on [G]me
Fenced yards ain't hole cards and
like as not never will [C]be
[D]Reason for rhymers and old five and

[Interlude 1]
dimers like me
[G][C][Am][G][C][G]
[D]

[Verse 3]
It's [G]taking me so long and now
that I know I believe
[D]All that I do or say is all I ever will be[G]
Too far and too high and too deep ain't
too much to be
Too much ain't enough for old
five and dimers like [C]me

[Verse 4]
[D]
[G]Yeah, [D]an old five and dimer is
all I really meant to [G]be
