Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 This is your new thing now

 Naked as a rose

Everything exposed

 But not quite

 This is your new thing now

 Cards out on the table

A genius with no label

 But not quite, not quite

God, I swear it's good to be back home

Waiting for the newest Rolling Stone

All the other girls are still at war

The best and worst of 1994

 Sometimes I see the half and not the whole

 Sometimes I see the face and not the soul

 Sometimes I think this world has no part

 For anyone who every had a heart

This is your new thing now

 And it looks so good in print

 Just a poet and her pimps

 But not quite

This your new thing now

 A prom dress and a sneer

The woman of the year

 But not quite, not quite

 Gee, it's good to see a dream come true

People smile and bless all over you

Mixing up those latest junkie-isms

With all the pretty terms of religion

 And don't you love the leader of the band

 Equal parts Butt-head and Peter Pan

 All the other kids are sad again

 A legend's not a legend 'til it ends

This is your new thing now

 And it makes the whole world spin

 It's at least as old as sin

 But not quite

This is your new thing now

 And now you're turning grinning

 But maybe no one listening

 And you might lose it all my darling, yes you might

This is your new thing now

 And it feels so good to doubt you

I could almost live without you

 But not quite

fade out with D, C, D, C.... (repeating "not quite" several times)

Enjoy!
