Penny On The Floor by the Clarks

Listen to the CD to get the strumming and picking sequence. Here's the basic
chords anyhow. Enjoy!
[G]There's a penny on the floor and you're [D]gone, the tel[C]evision's [G]on.
Have you fo[D]und another man to take my p[C]lace.
[G]There's a penny on the floor and I'm [D]wise, I [C]try to see in your [G]eyes.
But a[D]ll I see is a reflection of my f[C]ace.
There's a penny on the floor and you're gone, I'm trying to right what's wrong.
A stronger man might do it with more grace.
There's a penny on the floor but I'm wise, I look up to the skies.
I cry and pray, and I stare out into space.
Chorus:
[G]There's a penny on the floor, and you're s[D]tanding at the door
[Em]turn around and say g[C]oodbye.[G] A woman like you come[D]s around just once a [C]life.
There's a penny on the floor and I'm strong. I'll try to carry on,
Realizing no one can take your place.
There's a penny on the floor and I'm fine. I know it's gonna take some time
Before I look at you without looking at my own face.
Penny on the f[C]loor. I'm tired of the [D]war. Penny on the t[C]rack. Are you comin' [D]back?
There's a penny on the floor and it stays, as a tribute to the days
That were spent with you, no one can take them away.
There's a penny on the floor and it stays, as a tribute to the ways
You filled my soul with courage, hope and grace.
Repeat Chorus:
There's a penny on the floor, and you're standing at the door
Turn around and say goodbye.
A woman like you comes around who won't bring me down.
