NEW THING NOW Written and performed by Shawn Colvin From the cd: A Few Small Repairs Tabbed by Izzylou Capo 1 Note: I couldn't find this ANYWHERE, so I decided to figure it out myself. But I am not a very good at finger picking, so here are just the chords. Listen to the album to get the 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 G 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!
