C      Em       Am   F
  Whoa whoa ooh whoa,
C      Em       Am   F
  Whoa whoa ooh whoa

[Verse 1]
C                    Em
  I pulled up to the sonic drive in
Am    F        C
   No ac in my truck
               Em            Am
Diggin’ in that seat for loose change
       F           C
For an ocean water song
                      Em
But when I ordered the blue drink
             Am            F          C
I got pretty blue eyes and a summertime smile, yeah
Em                     Am            F
   I told her I’ve been diggin’ for a while

[Chorus]
C          Em           Am
  I needed change in my life
      F                      C
Today penny pinchin’ done me good
         Em           Am
I needed change in my life
      F                   C
Those dirty quarters understood
                  Em
I got a tip for a million-dollar grin
    Am                F                  C  Em
Shotgun rider, when I shift on over stickin
         Am                       F
American postcard and love at the sonic drive in

[Verse 2]
C                         Em
happy hour comes, parkin’ lot filled up
      Am                 F
Every tailgate down on a mud-covered truck
      C                      Em
Every star is orderin’ sweet tea and tots
        Am                        F
Just to hear the tanned up pretty southern girl talk
         C                         Em
And they wait around for a half an hour for a refill
Am                     F
Gas tank done ate your five-dollar bill
           C
Now you’re sittin’ there diggin’ through
Em                    Am
Your plumb full glove box
         F
For just one more talk

[Chorus]
C          Em           Am
  I needed change in my life
      F                      C
Today penny pinchin’ done me good
         Em           Am
I needed change in my life
      F                   C
Those dirty quarters understood
                  Em
I got a tip for a million-dollar grin
    Am                F                  C  Em
Shotgun rider, when I shift on over stickin
         Am                       F
American postcard and love at the sonic drive in

[Bridge]
C      Em       Am          F           C
  Whoa whoa ooh whoa at the sonic drive in
     Em       Am          F           C
Whoa whoa ooh whoa at the sonic drive in

[Chorus]
C        Em           Am
I needed change in my life
      F                      C
Today penny pinchin’ done me good
         Em           Am
I needed change in my life
      F                   C
Those dirty quarters understood
                  Em
I got a tip for a million-dollar grin
    Am                F                  C  Em
Shotgun rider, when I shift on over stickin
         Am                       F
American postcard and love at the sonic drive in
