Verse: (2x) 
D5     A/C#  C        Bm/G 
I'm so alive I'm so enlightened I can 
 
D5     A/C#      C           G/B 
barely survive A night in my mind 
 
   D5         A/C#  C         Bm/G 
So I've got a plan  I'm gonna find out just how  
 
D5       A/C#   C           G/B 
boring I am And have a good time 
 
Chorus:  
                    D5      A/C#    
'Cause ever since I tried?, trying not to find 
             C          Bm/G 
Every little meaning in my life 
          D5              A/C# 
It's been fine, I've been cool 
        C          G/B 
With my new golden rule 
 
              D    
Now it's the new deep 
              Bm    
Down with the old me 
            Em7  
Talk is the same cheap  
     A 
It's been

Verse: (2x) 
D5         A/C# C         Bm/G 
Is there a guy  Why is he waiting  
 
          D5        A/C#        C          G/B 
Don't you figure it out When he knows my address 
 
   D5           A/C#  C            Bm/G 
And look at the stars Don't they remind you 
 
D5                 A/C#        C         G/B 
Just how feeble we are Well it used to I guess 
 
Chorus:  
                    D5      A/C#    
'Cause ever since I tried?, trying not to find

Every little meaning in my life 
          D5              A/C# 
It's been fine, I've been cool 
        C          G/B 
With my new golden rule 
 
              D    
Now it's the new deep 
              Bm    
Down with the old me 
            Em7  
Talk is the same cheap  
     A 
It's been  
 
Bridge: (4x) 
D/F#      D4/G D/B      A 
I'm a new man  I wear a new cologne 
    D/F#         D4/G            D/B       A 
And you wouldn't know me If your eyes were closed 
    D/F#          D4/G D/B            A 
I know what you'd say  This will last longer than  
    D/F#        D4/G           D/B        A 
the rest of the day But you're wrong this time 
 
You're wrong  

C5 
 
Chorus:  
             D 
Now it's the new deep 
              Bm  
Down with the old me   
             Em7         A 
I'm over the analyzing tonight   
 
Em                       D/F#  
Stop trying to figure it out 
(you try to figure, you try to figure it out)   
G                      A 
It will only bring you down 
 
                          Em                                     D/F#   
You know I used to be the back-porch-poet with my book of lines, always  
 
                              G    
open No and all the time I'm probably 
                             A 
Never gonna find the perfect rhyme  
               D5 
For heavier things
