Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
D MajorD       E minorEm
 What did you do
     D MajorD          G+G
With the old one you used to use?
       D MajorD           D7D7  G+G
Remember when you two were simply inseparable
      D MajorD       E7E7     A augmentedA
And now she seems only disposable and old
     D MajorD       E minorEm
Without a call, bound to fall
        D MajorD      G+G
She was just a model after all
       D MajorD       D7D7    G+G
In a line of lonely models built to sell
       D/F#D/F#       E7E7
Planned obsolescence works too well
      A augmentedA  A#A#   B minorBm
Feeling disposable and old

Chorus:
        D/F#D/F#    G+G        D MajorD
So what will we do when the colors leave our eyes?
    G+G       D MajorD           A augmentedA     A#A#
On the day our ashes rise will we still be friends?
B minorBm        D/F#D/F#     G+G      D MajorD
 And how will we know when the final chorus dies?
    G+G       D MajorD           E7E7  G+G
On the day my spirit flies, I wanna be with you
       D MajorD
Just holding hands


Verse 2:
D MajorD      E minorEm      D MajorD          G+G
 Remember Myspace with my top eight so-called "friends"
      D MajorD        D7D7     G+G
Now Justin Timberlake is apparently involved
       D MajorD        E7E7
But I haven't been there for a while
      A augmentedA      D MajorD
Feeling disposable and old
      E minorEm        D MajorD         G+G
Back in the day following and likes meant other things
      D MajorD      D7D7          G+G
And pretty soon another made up world's gonna start
           D MajorD      B minorBm
But I think I'd just rather play guitar
      A augmentedA  A#A#   B minorBm
Feeling disposable and old

Chorus:
       D/F#D/F#    G+G           D MajorD
So what do we do with the things that we used to prize?
    G+G       D MajorD           A augmentedA     A#A#
When my favorite CD's lie in the Goodwill's hands?
B minorBm        D/F#D/F#     G+G         D MajorD
 And how will we know that the world will be just fine?
   G+G        D MajorD           E7E7
Even if the platform dies, I wanna be with you
G+G       D MajorD
 Just holding hands


Interlude:
| B minorBm   | D/F#D/F#   | G+G   | D MajorD    |
| G+G   | D MajorD    | A augmentedA   | A augmentedA  A#A# |
| B minorBm   | D/F#D/F#   | G+G   | D MajorD    |

| D MajorD   | D MajorD    |


Verse 3:
D MajorD      E minorEm      D MajorD          G+G
 Everything dies just as sure as the sun will rise
        D MajorD       D7D7       G+G
We live in the valley of the shadow of that death
     D MajorD        E7E7
Breathing breath in after breath
      A augmentedA      D MajorD
Feeling disposable and old
       E7E7       D MajorD         G+G
But here's a fact, yes, the Internet's just a fad
    D MajorD           D7D7        G+G
I only give it a couple more thousand years or so
      D MajorD      E7E7      A augmentedA  A#A#   B minorBm
Until we surrender our illusions of disposable and old


Chorus:
         D/F#D/F#   G+G        D MajorD
So what would we do if we finally saw the light?
   G+G           D MajorD          A augmentedA    A#A#
If we dropped this accursed pride could we make amends?
B minorBm        D/F#D/F#      G+G        D MajorD
 And how will we know when it's time to call it time?
    G+G        D/F#D/F#         E7E7
On the day my heartbeat dies I wanna be with you
G+G          D MajorD
 The rest is just pretend


Tag:
D MajorD      E7E7   G+G
 Just make believe
          D MajorD
Just a means to an end
D MajorD        E7E7   G+G
 I wanna be with you
       D MajorD
Just holding hands
