D                       G  D
Found A quarter on the sidewalk
                     G  D
A love letter in a shoebox
                      G       D
I found a snake underneath a rock
    G         A       D
Wish I could find forgiveness

A sand dollar on the seashore
An old dresser in an antique store
A rustly whistle in the bottom drawer
Wish I could find forgiveness

Chorus:
G                                  D/F#
It ain't hiding in no bottle on a shelf
                               Em
Or lying in the bed of someone else
                    A                   D
I can't feel it on some Sunday morning pew
G                                     D/F#
And one sleepless night it dawned on me
                             Em
The piece I need so desperately
                      D/F#          G
Is buried in the one place I can't get to
A                 D
Girl, it's gotta come from you

Was too stubborn for my own good
I never listend like I knew I should
I don'd deserve it but I wish you would
Find me some forgiveness

For every night I wasn't there
For all the times I didn't care
I admit It was never fair
Wish I could find forgiveness

Chorus

I've seen a broom run across a floor
Talking with it that was there before
And that's the kind of clean I came here looking for

Chorus
