Weakerthans - A New Name for Everything 



Intro: F Am G F


         F                                            Am
When the bus-shelter windows and napkin-dispensers surprise 
        G                                                 F
with distorted reflections, it's never the someone you're hoping to recognize. 
         F                                               Am
When the rent is too high living here between reasons to live, 
        G                                                   F
and you can't sleep alone, and your memories groan, and the borders of night start to give. 


F    G   F     F             
When you can't save 
F                          G                           
cash or conviction; you're broke and you're breaking-a 
F                   F
tired shoelace or a wave. 
   F                      G                       F
So long past, past-due. A new name for everything. 


F G F F


         F                                               Am
When the one-ways collude with the map that you folded wrong, 
        G                                               F
and the route you abandoned is always the path that you probably should be upon. 
         F                                               Am
When the bottle-cap ashtrays and intimate's ears are all full 
       G                                                        F
with results of your breath, and the threads of your fear are unfurled with the tiniest pull. 


F   G    F     F 
One more time, try. 
F                             G                        
Stand with your hands in your pockets and stare at the 
F                     F
smudge on a newspaper sky, 
    F                G                       F
and ask it to rain a new name for everything. 


F G F F


Am   G     F                  G                   F
Fire every phrase. They don't want to work for us anymore. 
Am      G        F               G                    F
Dot and Dash our days. Make your face the flag of a semaphore. 


F Am G F  
F Am G F


F   G   F     F
All you won't show. 
    F                          G                        
The boxes you brought here and never unpacked are still 
F                    F
patiently waiting to go. 
   F                        G                    
So put on those clothes you never grew into, and 
F                          F
smile like you mean it for once. 
   F                      G                 F
If you come back, bring a new name for everything.


F G F F  x4    

End on G
