New Day

(Simple  Version - for advanced alternate chords, scroll to the bottom)

Intro (2x): A, C#m7, Bm7


Verse 1:
A                C#m7
I was a girl … a girl without a name
         Bm7
Bought a one-way ticket on a going nowhere train (choo choo)
A                                C#m7
I was falling fast and there was nothing to grab
  Bm7
I reached for my man, but found one-night stands
  A                               C#m7
I couldn’t catch my breath, I had nowhere to land
    Bm7
For three damn days, I played with the damned, yeah
A                             C#m7
  I had the devil on my shoulder whisperin’ lies, now I’m older
Bm7
  I was mixed up, but it feels like a new day is comin’


Chorus(2x):
A                    C#m7
  I’ll start all over, I’ll start all over
  Bm7
A new day, a new day, yeah


Verse 2: (A, C#m7, Bm7)
I took a dive into the deep blue sea
And swam as fast as my broken heart could carry me
Yeah, there was a storm (there was a storm)
Yeah, there was a war (there was a war)
I left behind the tears I cried on a desert pirate shore
I couldn’t catch my breath, I had nowhere to stand
Just me and my machete, she was all that I had, yeah
I found myself in a bubble, got myself in some trouble
I was knocked down, but it feels like a new day is comin’


Repeat Chorus (2x):


Bridge:
Bmadd9           C#m7                  F#m
   I know it’s time, ‘cause I hear the songbirds hummin’
Bm7                  C#m7               E7              
   And I know it’s time, ‘cause I can’t stop my fingers from strummin’,
I hear it comin’ yeah


Instrumental: (A, C#m7, Bm7)

Chorus (4x):

… Startin’ over
