The New Year - The Idea Of You

      [Verse 1]
     D           G            D
The girls in the back of the room

Having the time of their lives
                     A
As they sing out of tune
                 G
You know I'll be going soon
                   A
To the back of the room

[Chorus 1]
D
Because I can't keep
A           G
Calling my mother
                       D
I need another kind of other
                          A
And even though I love my brother
         G
He won't do

[Verse 2]
      D         G             D
Like you up against the back wall
                       A
I know you've heard it all
                           G
But you should know I want nothing more
                 A
Than the idea of you

[Bridge]
D A G (x5)
A

[Verse 3]
     D             A
It's not that I'm dying
       Em
To be young again
         G
But the last few years
                       D
Have turned me into an alien

And you should know
                  A
That you're just filling in
                 G
For the idea of you

D
