    I Will Buy You a New Li...

G (Palm muting optional)
Intro:  Yeah, yeah, etc.

Verse:
         G              C9
        Here is the money that I owe you
         G              C9
        Yeah so you can pay the bills 
         G       C9                 Em
        I will give you some more when I get paid again

(same chords as before)

        I hate those people who love to tell you

        Money is the root of all that kills

        They have never been poor, they have never known the joy of a 

well fare Christmas

"Intro riff" again

        Sometimes you wake up crying

        Yeah and you don't know why 

        Then you go lay down inside my baby's room

        Yeah I guess I'm doing o.k.

        I moved in with the strangest guy

        Can you believe he actually thinks that I am really alive

Chorus:
        G                 C9            Em
        I will buy you a garden where your flowers can bloom
        G                 C9            Em                    
        I will buy you a new car, perfect shiny and new
        G                 C9            Em
        I will buy you a big house way up in the west hills
        G      C9     Em
        I will buy you a new life

"Intro riff"

Verse:  I know all about that other guy
        The handsome man with atheletic thighs
        I know all about the one before, the obsessive little rich boy
        They might make you think you're happy
        Maybe for a minute or two
        they can't make you laugh 
        They can't make you feel the way that I do

Chorus x3, 2nd time without bass or guitar, drums come in on "Perfect 
shiny and new"  Then fade out with "Intro Riff".
