Intro
C


C
Today’s the Macy’s Day Parade
     Am
The night of the living dead is on its way
F                   G             C
With the credit report for duty call
C
It’s a lifetime guarantee
  Am
Stuffed in a coffin ten percent more free
F            G                 C
Red light special at the mausoleum


F
Give me something that I need
G                          F
Satisfaction guarantee to you

What’s the consolation prize
G                        C
Economy sized dreams of hope


C
When I was a kid I thought
    Am
I wanted all the things that I haven’t got
F           G                 C
Oh but I learned the hardest way
C                        Am
Then I realized what it took
                                             F
To tell the difference between thieves and crooks
            G                 C
A lesson learned with me and you

F
Give me something that I need
G
Satisfaction guaranteed
              C                        Am
‘Cause I’m thinking ‘bout a brand new hope
                     F
The one I’ve never known
              G                    C
‘Cause now I know its all that I wanted

What’s the consolation prize
G                        F
Economy sized dreams of hope
               
Give me something that I need
G                 C
Satisfaction guaranteed


              C                        Am
‘Cause I’m thinking ‘bout a brand new hope
                     F                  G
The one I’ve never known, and where it goes
           C                     Am
And I’m thinking ‘bout the only road
                     F                  G
The one I’ve never know, and where it goes


           C                        Am
And I’m thinking ‘bout a brand new hope
                     F
The one I’ve never known
              G                     C
‘Cause now I know it’s all that I wanted
