They didn’t [Dm7]last [Dm]very [A7]long [Dm]and they’ve been [C]pretty scarce
[Dm]I used to think that was [A7]sens[Dm]ible
It makes the [Dm7]truth [Dm]even [A7]more [Dm]incompre[C]hensible

Cause [Dm]everything is new [Dm], and [A7]everything is you [A7]
And [Dm]all I’ve learned, has [Bb]overturned what [Dm]can I do [G]
