For the intro play:
|D-sequence|D-sequence|G-sequence|D-sequence|
During the verses, you can play the above rhythms or just the plain chords, which are these:
D
What's passed these hands?
All these drugs and one night stands
G D
So I tremble when I think of what she'd do
She'd say something like:
D
"You're no good,
You're like the junkies in this neighborhood"
G D
We all need a fix, I guess I need one too
Em (7 fr.) A (5 fr.)
But I'm trying madly to calm these nerves
D (10 fr.)
With something new
D
I've got this heavy debt, I've got nothing left
But this daunting weight slung ‘round my neck
G
You got the callous mouth, all your endless doubts
D
We spent these fifteen weeks, trying to work it out
Em A D
Do you think we're getting to something new?
(Intro chord sequence on “new”)
|D-sequence|D-sequence|
N.C.
Oh God, not another fight
I'm always trying to get the details right
G D
I remember when you told me you felt saved
G D
And you promised you'd lay flowers on my grave
Em A
Just like they used to do
D
Is it something new?
D
And now here I stand
With these blood soaked hands
On these sleepless nights that never end
G
All these songs I sing
All these hope I cling to
D
Desperately wondering
Em A D
Are we finally getting to something new?
(Intro chord sequence on “new,” continuing over final lyrics.)
Is it something new?
Are we finally to something new?
