--Kenneth’s Part Chords--
-------------------------
Capo III
--Performance Note--
Make sure to catch the timing of the chords during the [Chorus], [Intro], [Interlude],
[Solo], and [Outro]. All of these sections have at least one instance of a chord change on beat 4. Listen
(and/or look at Kenneth’s tab part) to know which chords should change on 4 and which should change on either
3 and 1.
[Intro]
|1 2 3 4 |1 2 3 4 |1 2 3 4 |1 2 3 4 |
|G D/F#|Em D7 |C D7| |
|G D/F#|Em D7 |C G | |
[Verse 1]
C G
I think I'm going to work construction
B7 Em D
just to make something of myself
C G D7
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 D7
I want more than a receipt for what I paid
[Chorus 1]
Em D7
Everybody loves something new
C G
'Cause you can open it and plug it in
Em D7
and it feels like a good night's sleep
C G
like the girl you like paid you a compliment
G B7 Em D7 C D7
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
[Interlude]
|1 2 3 4 |1 2 3 4 |1 2 3 4 |1 2 3 4 |
|G D/F#|Em D |C G | |
[Verse 2]
C G
I am not a poet
B7 Em D
show me the easy way and I'll do it
C G D7
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 D7
so I threw it out just to make myself some room
[Chrous 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
G B7 Em D7 C D7
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 that I can die with
[Solo] (same rhythm as Chorus)
|1 2 3 4 |1 2 3 4 |1 2 3 4 |1 2 3 4 |
|Em D7| |C G | |
|Em D7| |C G | |
|G B7 |Em D |C D | |
|G D/F#|Em D |C G | |
|C G | |C G | |
[Verse 3]
C G
If my luck is running out
B7 Em D
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
G B7 Em D7 C D
So they can keep construction and they can keep ‘em coming and I wont be listening
G D/F# Em D C D7
I found something a little more permanent
G D/F# Em D C G
I found someone that I can die with
[Outro]

--Joey’s Part--

--Tune Down By A Whole Step!--
Joey’s part is tuned down by a whole step. If you do not want to tune down, you’ll be best off strumming the
chords to Kenneth’s part above, Capo III.
--Performance Note--
When playing the F and C chords, Joey tends to hammer on the second fret of the G and D
strings respectively. Note that when hammering on the 2nd fret of the G-string, he does not use a bar, so the
hammer on is from fret 0h2, not 1h2 (though 1h2 may also sound good).
--Performance Note--
Make sure to catch the timing of the chords during the [Chorus], [Intro], [Interlude],
[Solo], and [Outro] (basically not the verses). All of these sections have at least one instance of a chord
change on beat 4. Listen (and/or look at Kenneth’s tab part) to know which chords should change on 4 and
which should change on either 3 or 1.

[Verse 1]
F C
I think I'm going to work construction
E7 Am G
just to make something of myself
F C G7
I can't live off these childhood trophies on my shelf
F C
I want to get my hands dirty
E7 Am G
I want to feel a burning in my legs
F C G7
I want more than a receipt for what I paid
[Chorus 1]
Am G7
Everybody loves something new
F C
'Cause you can open it and plug it in
Am G7
and it feels like a good night's sleep
F C
like the girl you like paid you a compliment
C E7 Am G7 F G7
they can keep the change and they can keep 'em coming they can talk to who's listening
C G/B Am G F C
I'm still looking for something a little more permanent

[Verse 2]
F C
I am not a poet
E7 Am G
show me the easy way and I'll do it
F C G7
no one could ever say that I've been trying way too hard
F C
everything that I have ever owned
E7 Am G
got dusty and old
F C G7
so I threw it out just to make myself some room
[Chrous 2]
Am G
I'm like everybody I love something new
F C
'cause you can open it and plug it in
Am G
and it feels like a good night's sleep

like the girl you like paid you a compliment
C E7 Am G7 F G7
they can keep the change and they can keep 'em coming they can talk to who's listening
C G/B Am G F C
I'm still looking for something that I can die with

[Verse 3]
F C
If my luck is running out
E7 Am G
Please don't let it be so with love
F C G
It's been a long year, but I'm not ready to give up
F C
Even If I lay ten million bricks
E7 Am G
And they break through the summer haze
F C G
Someone will come around and bulldoze them down some day
[Chorus 3]
Am G
Because everybody loves something new
F C
You get rid of what came before
Am G
And it feels like a long hot shower
F C
like getting in your bed when the sheets are warm
C E7 Am G7 F G
So they can keep construction and they can keep ‘em coming and I wont be listening
C G/B Am G F G7
I found something a little more permanent
C G/B Am G F C
I found someone that I can die with
