I have a new record.
I'll come back to this.
[D] It's called [Bb] Recovery.
It's a re-recording or a re [D]-recovering or a re-discovering or [N] a reclaiming or a regurgitating.
These very old songs [A] of mine, recorded with this cool [Ab] band.
[G] [Bb] Couldn't [Ab] afford to bring it to New York.
[N]
Now this song is on that record.
It's called New Pain.
The original title, thank you.

If [D] [G] she's a woman there's a [C] chance she maybe likes to [G] dance.
So you go [D] to the hall.

[D] Don't make a [Am] hullabaloo, I'm not the heart for lore.
I'll try any trick, pull any floor.
Used up [Am] 20th century boy.

Try to kiss her, tastes so [D] good.
[G] Like you hoped it would.
[D] If I was [Am] 16 again I'd give my tooth.
I'm tired and I'm hungry, looking for my youth.
A little uncool, a little uncool.
Excuse me.

If [D] you will, [G] at the station you could beat her [C] with that smile.
[G] You couldn't cheat her.
A woman that [D] kind.
Card fight.
