Verse 1:
 
Fmaj7/C                          C 
I think i'm going to work construction  
             G              Am 
Just to make something of myself  
        Fmaj7/C                  C              G 
I can't live off these childhood trophies on my shelf  
  Fmaj7/C              C  
I want to get my hands dirty  
                 G             Am 
I want to feel a burning in my legs  
       Fmaj7/C           C              G 
I want more than the receipt for what i paid  


        Am        G 
Because everybody loves something new  
               Fmaj7/C             C 
'cause you can open it and plug it in  
       Am                G 
And it feels like a good night's sleep  
                       Fmaj7/C       C 
Like the girl you like paid you a compliment  
                  G          Am                G               Fmaj7/C 
They can keep the change and they can keep 'em coming they can talk to  
           G 
who's listening  
C         G           Am          G       Fmaj7/C     C 
I'm still looking for something a little more permanent  



Verse 2:
 
Fmaj7/C       C 
I am not a poet  
            G                 Am 
Show me the easy way and i'll do it  
             Fmaj7/C                 C              G 
No one could ever say that i've been trying way too hard  
Fmaj7/C                C 
Everything that i have ever owned  
    G         Am  G 
Got dusty and old  
     Fmaj7/C              C                 G 
So i threw it out just to make myself some room  


         Am          G 
I'm like everybody i love something new  
               Fmaj7/C             C 
'cause you can open it and plug it in  
       Am                G 
And it feels like a good night's sleep  
                       Fmaj7/C       C 
Like the girl you like paid you a compliment  
                  G          Am                G               Fmaj7/C 
They can keep the change and they can keep 'em coming they can talk to  
           G 
who's listening  
C         G           Am             G    Fmaj7/C   C 
I'm still looking for something that I can die with  



Verse 3:
 
Fmaj7/C               C 
If my luck is running out  
             G                 Am 
Please don't let it be so with love  
G           Fmaj7/C               C             G 
It's been a long year but i'm not ready to give up  
Fmaj7/C           C 
Even if I lay ten million bricks  
         G                            Am 
And they break through the summer haze  
G            Fmaj7/C         C                       G 
Someone will come around and bulldoze them down some day Ohhhhh 

  
        Am        G 
Because everybody loves something new  
        Fmaj7/C          C 
You get rid of what came before  
       Am                G 
And it feels like a long hot shower  
                     Fmaj7/C                 C 
Like getting in your bed when the sheets are warm  
                 G                Am               G          Fmaj7/C 
So they can keep construction and they can keep em coming and I wont be  
   G 
listening  
      C G     Am          G          Fmaj7/C  G 
Cause I found something a little more permanent  
        C G     Am           G    Fmaj7/C  C 
Oh yes, I found someone that I can die with 



C  G  Am  G  Fmaj7/C  C
