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

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
