Chords

[Verse 1]
D             E
 What did you do

         D                   G
With the old one you used to use?

              D                     D7    G
Remember when you two were simply inseparable

            D             E7          A
And now she seems only disposable and old

          D              Em
Without a call, bound to fall

               D           G
She was just a model after all

             D             D7       G
In a line of lonely models built to sell

              D/F#             E7
Planned obsolescence works too well

           A   F#      Bm
Feeling disposable and old
[Chorus]
                F#m         G                D
So what will we do when the colors leave our eyes?

       G             D                     A          F#
On the day our ashes rise will we still be friends?

Bm                F#m           G            D
  And how will we know when the final chorus dies?

       G             D                      E7    G
On the day my spirit flies, I wanna be with you

             D
Just holding hands
[Verse 2]
D           E             D                    G
 Remember Myspace with my top eight so-called "friends"

           D               D7         G
Now Justin Timberlake is apparently involved

              D                E7
But I haven't been there for a while

           A           D
Feeling disposable and old

            E                 D                 G
Back in the day following and likes meant other things

           D            D7                    G
And pretty soon another made up world's gonna start

                     D           E7
But I think I'd just rather play guitar

           A   F#      Bm
Feeling disposable and old
[Chorus]
              F#m         G                      D
So what do we do with the things that we used to prize?

        G             D                     A         F#
When my favorite CD's lie in the Goodwill's hands?

Bm                F#m           G                  D
  And how will we know that the world will be just fine?

     G               D                     E7
Even if the platform dies, I wanna be with you

G             D
 Just holding hands
[Interlude] | Bm | F#m | G | D | | G | D | A | A F# | | Bm | F#m | G | D | | G | D | E7 | G | | D | D | [Verse 3]
D           E            D                    G
 Everything dies just as sure as the sun will rise

               D             D7             G
We live in the valley of the shadow of that death

          D               E7
Breathing breath in after breath

           A           D
Feeling disposable and old

             E7             D                 G
But here's a fact, yes, the Internet's just a fad

       D                     D7                G
I only give it a couple more thousand years or so

            D            E7           A    F#      Bm
Until we surrender our illusions of disposable and old
[Chorus]
                 F#m      G               D
So what would we do if we finally saw the light?

      G                     D                    A       F#
If we dropped this accursed pride could we make amends?

Bm                F#m            G               D
  And how will we know when it's time to call it time?

       G                D                    E7
On the day my heartbeat dies I wanna be with you

G                    D
 The rest is just pretend
[Tag]
D            E7      G
 Just make believe

                   D
Just a means to an end

D                E7     G
 I wanna be with you

             D
Just holding hands
