C Bm C Bm
i was so tired as i walked through my door
C Bm C D
i let all the contents of your wallet on the floor

and like a holy relic
G C
or a mystery novel
G C
i thumbed them in the dim light
G A
searching for a clue –
C Bm
a blockbuster card ,
C Bm
an old stick of juicy fruit
C Bm C D
a crumpled receipt for a pair of leather boots

G D
i have no wallet ,
G D
i have no wallet
G Bm C D
i keep my cards together with a blue rubber band
C Bm C Bm
and with a free hand i search in my pocket

for pieces of , pieces of paper and change

i’ll take your wallet
G D
to my local blockbuster
G Bm

C Bm
in their computer

C Bm
i’ll never know you
C Bm
but you will be so happy
C D C
when they call you up .
