NEW THING NOW
Written and performed by Shawn Colvin
From the cd: A Few Small Repairs
Tabbed by Izzylou
Capo 1
Note: I couldn't find this ANYWHERE, so I decided to figure it out myself. But I am not a
very good at finger picking, so here are just the chords. Listen to the album to get the
rhythm right.
Intro: G.... D-G
This i[G]s your new thing now[C]
Naked as a rose[G]
[C]Everything exposed[G]
But not quit[Am]e[D][-][G]
This i[G]s your new thing now[C]
Cards out on the table[G]
[C]A genius with no label[G]
But not quite[Am], not quite[C]
[D]God, I swear it's good to be back home[C]
[D]Waiting for the newest Rolling Stone[C]
[D]All the other girls are still at war[C]
[D]The best and worst of 1994[C]
Sometimes[Em] I see the half and not the whole[C]
Sometimes[Em] I see the face and not the soul[C]
Sometimes[Em] I think this world has no part[C]
For any[Em]one who every had a heart[C]
[D]This is yo[G]ur new thing now[C]
And it looks so good in print[G]
Just a poe[C]t and her pimps[G]
But not quite[Am]
[D]This yo[G]ur new thing now[C]
A prom dress and a sneer[G]
[C]The woman of the year[G]

[D]People smile and bless all over you[C]

A[Em]ll the other kids are sad again[C]
A[Em] legend's not a legend 'til it ends[C]
[D]This is yo[G]ur new thing now[C]
And it makes the whole world spin[G]
It's at le[C]ast as old as sin[G]
But not quite[Am]
[D]This is yo[G]ur new thing now[C]
And now you're turning grinning[G]
But ma[C]ybe no one listening[G]
And you might lose it a[C]ll my darling, yes [G]you might[Am]
[D]This is yo[G]ur new thing now[C]
