[Intro]
G D/F# Em D C D
G D/F# Em D C G
[Verse 1]
C G
I think I'm going to work construction
B7 Em
Just to make something of myself
C G D
I can't live off these childhood trophies on my shelf
C G
I want to get my hands dirty
B7 Em D
I want to feel a burning in my legs
C G D
I want more than a receipt for what I paid
[Chorus 1]
Em D
Everybody loves something new
C G
'Cause you can open it and plug it in
Em D
And it feels like a good night's sleep
C G
Like the girl you like paid you a compliment
B7 Em D C D
They can keep the change and they can keep 'em coming they can talk to who's listening
G D/F# Em D C G
I'm still looking for something a little more permanent
[Instrumental]
G D/F# Em D C G
[Verse 2]
C G
I am not a poet
B7 G
Show me the easy way and I'll do it
C G D
No one could ever say that I've been trying way too hard
C G
Everything that I have ever owned
B7 Em D
Got dusty and old
C G D
So I threw it out just to make myself some room
[Chorus 2]
Em D
I'm like everybody I love something new
C G
'Cause you can open it and plug it in
Em D
And it feels like a good night's sleep
C G
Like the girl you like paid you a compliment
B7 Em D C D
They can keep the change and they can keep 'em coming; they can talk to who's listening
G D/F# Em C G
I'm still looking for something that I can die with
[Solo]
Em D C G
Em D C G
G D/F# Em D C D
G D/F# Em D C G
[Verse 3]
C G
If my luck is running out
B7 Em
Please don't let it be so with love
C G D
It's been a long year, but I'm not ready to give up
C G
Even If I lay ten million bricks
B7 Em D
And they break through the summer haze
C G D
Someone will come around and bulldoze them down some day
[Chorus 3]
Em D
Because everybody loves something new
C G
You get rid of what came before
Em D
And it feels like a long hot shower
C G
Like getting in your bed when the sheets are warm
B7 Em D C D
So they can keep construction and they can keep 'em coming and I won't be listening
G D/F# Em D C D
I found something a little more permanent
G D/F# Em D C G
I found someone that I can die with
[Outro]
G D/F# Em D C G
