Chords

[Verse 1]
G                                   C
Look at you, the sorry state you're in

  G                          C
A man without a country or a friend

  G                              C
A man who can't remember how his blood would shake in boyhood

       G                                 C
To the rhythm of the wheat fields in the wind
[Interlude] |G |C |G |C | [Verse 2]
G                                    C
Stung by those old lies you told yourself

G                                       C
Strung with that same rope you sold yourself

       G                                     C
Either you can't hear the bells or you can't tell for whom they toll

               D                  D7
And still they toll, it's time to go
[Interlude] |G |C |G |C | [Verse 3]
       G                      C
Make a habit of erasing every track

   G                                 C
No trace of love behind to mark your path

         G                               C
Teaching everyone a lesson, thought your heart was worth the hold

              D                      D7
And that it's not, is that what you want?
[Chorus 1]
                  C
You must become a new man

              G       Gadd11 G
Must become a new man

              C
Must become a new man

[Verse 4]
    G                                      C
You felt the storm clouds building in your bones

   G                           C
Tornados spun for you and you alone

         G                                    C
And then wrapped themselves around you in the rain and whipping wind

              D            D7
And slip your skin, begin again
[Verse 5]
           G                                   C
And you'll find there's only love and love's returnin'

           G                                     C
And you'll finally know the warmth of home fires burnin'

        G                                C
And the green hills will be waving with abandon

    G                                C
The road unrolled before you like an anthem
[Verse 6]
   G                               C
In every strangers face a place of welcome

   G                               C
No matter who you are or where you came from

          G                             C
You won't walk among the dead a moment longer

          D             D7
You won't belong there
[Chorus 2]
              C
You will be a new man

              G       Gadd11 G
You will be a new man

              C
You will be a new man
