Verse 1:
 C majorC            G+G
I think I'm going to work construction
       B7B7      E minorEm
Just to make something of myself
    C majorC            G+G       D MajorD
I can't live off these childhood trophies on my shelf
 C majorC          G+G
I want to get my hands dirty
         B7B7      E minorEm  D MajorD
I want to feel a burning in my legs
    C majorC      G+G         D MajorD
I want more than a receipt for what I paid

Chorus 1:
E minorEm    D MajorD
Everybody loves something new
        C majorC          G+G
'Cause you can open it and plug it in
    E minorEm            D MajorD
And it feels like a good night's sleep
            C majorC        G+G
Like the girl you like paid you a compliment
         B7B7     E minorEm        D MajorD        C majorC         D MajorD
They can keep the change and they can keep 'em coming they can talk to who's listening
G+G     D/F#D/F#    E minorEm     D MajorD      C majorC  G+G
I'm still looking for something a little more permanent

C majorC     G+G
I am not a poet
      B7B7          G+G
Show me the easy way and I'll do it
       C majorC            G+G       D MajorD
No one could ever say that I've been trying way too hard
C majorC           G+G
Everything that I have ever owned
  B7B7    E minorEm D MajorD
Got dusty and old
   C majorC          G+G        D MajorD
So I threw it out just to make myself some room

Chorus 2:
     E minorEm     D MajorD
I'm like everybody I love something new
        C majorC          G+G

    E minorEm            D MajorD
And it feels like a good night's sleep

Like the girl you like paid you a compliment
         B7B7     E minorEm        D MajorD        C majorC         D MajorD
They can keep the change and they can keep 'em coming; they can talk to who's listening

If my luck is running out
       B7B7        E minorEm
Please don't let it be so with love
      C majorC           G+G       D MajorD
It's been a long year, but I'm not ready to give up
C majorC         G+G
Even If I lay ten million bricks
     B7B7            E minorEm  D MajorD
And they break through the summer haze
       C majorC        G+G            D MajorD
Someone will come around and bulldoze them down some day

Because everybody loves something new
    C majorC        G+G
You get rid of what came before
    E minorEm          D MajorD
And it feels like a long hot shower
           C majorC            G+G
Like getting in your bed when the sheets are warm
         B7B7        E minorEm        D MajorD      C majorC    D MajorD
So they can keep construction and they can keep 'em coming and I won't be listening

I found something a little more permanent

I found someone that I can die with
