rhythm right.
Intro: G.... D-G
G C
This is your new thing now
G
Naked as a rose
C G
Everything exposed
Am D - G
But not quite
G C
This is your new thing now
G
Cards out on the table
C G
A genius with no label
Am C
But not quite, not quite
D C
God, I swear it's good to be back home
D C
Waiting for the newest Rolling Stone
D C
All the other girls are still at war
D C
The best and worst of 1994
Em C
Sometimes I see the half and not the whole
Em C
Sometimes I see the face and not the soul
Em C
Sometimes I think this world has no part
Em C
For anyone who every had a heart
D G C
This is your new thing now
G
And it looks so good in print
C G
Just a poet and her pimps
Am
But not quite
D G C
This your new thing now

A prom dress and a sneer
C G
The woman of the year
Am C
But not quite, not quite
D C
Gee, it's good to see a dream come true
D C
People smile and bless all over you
D C
Mixing up those latest junkie-isms
D C
With all the pretty terms of religion
Em C
And don't you love the leader of the band
Em C
Equal parts Butt-head and Peter Pan
Em C
All the other kids are sad again
Em C
A legend's not a legend 'til it ends
D G C
This is your new thing now
G
And it makes the whole world spin
C G
It's at least as old as sin
Am
But not quite
D G C
This is your new thing now
G
And now you're turning grinning
C G
But maybe no one listening
C G Am
And you might lose it all my darling, yes you might
D G C
This is your new thing now
G
And it feels so good to doubt you
C G
I could almost live without you
Am C
But not quite
fade out with D, C, D, C.... (repeating "not quite" several times)
Enjoy!
