Permanent chords by The Milk Carton Kids

Guitar chords with lyrics

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
