Something New — The Airborne Toxic Event
Chords and lyrics for Something New by The Airborne Toxic Event (key of D).
Verse 1
by The Airborne Toxic Event
from the 2008 album The Airborne Toxic Event
The intro has been tabbed decently elsewhere, so I won’t reiterate that
here.
Here’s the guitar part:
[D]
(play chord in parenthesis 2nd time onward – 16th notes)
[G]
For the intro play:
|D-sequence|D-sequence|G-sequence|D-sequence|
During the verses, you can play the above rhythms or just the plain chords,
which are these:
What's [D]passed these hands?
All these drugs and one night stands
So I [G]tremble when I think of what she'd [D]do
She'd say something like:
[D]"You're no good,
You're like the junkies in this neighborhood"
We all [G]need a fix, I guess I need one [D]too
Em (7 fr.) A (5 fr.)
But I'm trying madly to calm these nerves
D (10 fr.)
With something new
I've got this [D]heavy debt, I've got nothing left
But this daunting weight slung ‘round my neck
You got the [G]callous mouth, all your endless doubts
We spent these[D] fifteen weeks, trying to work it out
Do you [Em]think we're getting [A]to something[D] new?
(Intro chord sequence on “new”)
|D-sequence|D-sequence|
N.C.
Oh God, not another fight
I'm always trying to get the details right
I [G]remember when you told me you felt [D]saved
And you [G]promised you'd lay flowers on my [D]grave
Just [Em]like they used to [A]do
Is it something [D]new?
And now [D]here I stand
With these blood soaked hands
On these sleepless nights that never end
All these [G]songs I sing
All these hope I cling to
[D]Desperately wondering
Are we [Em]finally getting [A]to something[D] new?
(Intro chord sequence on “new,” continuing over final lyrics.)
Is it something new?
Are we finally to something new?
