New Year Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

EmIt's a new yCear

 In an old house G

 With more technology you'll nDever understand

EmBreak out your typewrCiter

 With your thees and thGous

 Smearing old words with your oDld hands

AmYou'll call me CassanCdra

 I'll call you King JaGmes

 And all we write is true. And aDll of it insane

AmBut the changing of the seCasons will forever stay the sGame

 You sDay

 The infEmantry's retreating

 Like they kCnew how this would end

 Did you hGear the Germans lost the war?

 I bet tAmhey could use a friend

 Right nDow supper's getting cold

 Right nCow God is growing old

 Right nDow dialect is evolving

COutside this house

 Or so I'm toEmld

It's a real fear

For you and me

Burning clothing just to keep the winter warm

My fingers trace the gumline

Of a skeleton key

Not caring whether it could open up the door

The faces at the window

Are children in the womb

Black-eyed and still

But growing every day

You'll die on the outside

Or die in this room

Either way

Our infancy's receding

We're a heartbeat from the end

Did you hear the madmen lost the war?

I bet they could use a friend

Right now supper's getting cold

Right now God is growing old

Right now dialect is evolving

Outside this house

Or so I'm told

AmWe're stockpiling wCarheads

 We're stuck in the pGast

 Death is art Truth is Dbeauty

 And the first shall be laAmst

 You'll call me AthCena, I'll call you MoGnet

 When the world is falling doDwn crumbling like claAmy

We're hiding in caverns

Forgetting our names

We dissolve in our mythology

Like blood in the rain

You'll call me the lion

I'll call you the lamb

I am lost in all you are

You're alive for what I am
