New Thing Now Shawn Colvin
This i[G]s your new thing now [C]
Naked as a rose [G]
[C]Everything exposed [G]
But not quit[Am]e [D] [-] [G]
This i[G]s your new thing now [C]
Cards out on the table [G]
[C]A genius with no label [G]
But not quite[Am], not quite [C]
[D]God, I swear it's good to be back home [C]
[D]Waiting for the newest Rolling Stone [C]
[D]All the other girls are still at war [C]
[D]The best and worst of 1994 [C]
Sometimes[Em] I see the half and not the whole[C]
Sometimes[Em] I see the face and not the soul [C]
Sometimes[Em] I think this world has no part [C]
For any[Em]one who every had a heart [C]
[D]This is yo[G]ur new thing now [C]
And it looks so good in print [G]
Just a poe[C]t and her pimps [G]
But not quite[Am]
[D]This yo[G]ur new thing now [C]
A prom dress and a sneer [G]
[C]The woman of the year [G]
But not quite[Am], not quite [C]
G[D]ee, it's good to see a dream come true [C]
[D]People smile and bless all over you [C]
[D]Mixing up those latest junkie-isms [C]
[D]With all the pretty terms of religion [C]
And do[Em]n't you love the leader of the band [C]
E[Em]qual parts Butt-head and Peter Pan [C]
A[Em]ll the other kids are sad again [C]
A[Em] legend's not a legend 'til it ends [C]
[D]This is yo[G]ur new thing now [C]
And it makes the whole world spin [G]
It's at le[C]ast as old as sin [G]
But not quite[Am]
[D]This is yo[G]ur new thing now [C]
And now you're turning grinning [G]
But ma[C]ybe no one listening [G]
And you might lose it a[C]ll my darling, yes [G]you might [Am]
[D]This is yo[G]ur new thing now [C]
And it feels so good to doubt you [G]
[C]I could almost live without you [G]
But not quite[Am] [C]
fade out with D, C, D, C.... (repeating "not quite" several times)
Enjoy!
