The Waifs - Nothing New

      [Intro]
D G D A 2x

[Verse]
D                            G
I?m going to dress up tonight
    D                    A
And I?ll look real pretty for I don?t know who
     D                           G
I?ll find my own way around this great big city
              D                               A
And I?m gonna sit at a bar and I?ll have a drink
    D                           G
I?ll leave you to revel in your youthful yearnings
  D                                A
I know you like to visit them from time to time
    D              G/F#                G
And like a thief I steal the words you write to her
  D                           A
I take them to my heart and I wish them to be mine

[Chorus]
            D           G
But this is nothing new
             D       A
But it ain?t nothing
             D           G
Well this is nothing new
             D       A
But it ain?t nothing

[Instrumental]
D G D Dsus4 D  G  D A

[Verse]
D                         G
You long for sweetness does mine make you sickly
   D                          A
Or maybe I no longer have the sweetness you require
        D                     G/F#       G
There?s nothing sweet about a heart so embittered
     D                      A
It?s ugly and it?s cold and tonight it?s out for hire

[Chorus]
            D           G
But this is nothing new
             D       A
But it ain?t nothing
             D           G
Well this is nothing new
             D       A
But it ain?t nothing

[Instrumental]
D G D Dsus4 D  G  D A

[Bridge]
G                    A
We live through this day after day
       G                          A
And complacency?s a curse but you just can?t escape it
         G                              A
And I?ve arrived at that place where my tolerance gave way
      G           G/F#    G       A
And I struggle to hold my head up high

[Outro]
             G           D
But it ain?t nothing new
        G           A
This is nothing new
             D
Ohhhhh yeahhh
