B
Today's the Macy's Day Parade
    G#m
The night of the living dead is on it's way
E               F#             B
With a credit report for duty call
B
It's a lifetime guarantee
G#m
Stuffed in a coffin 10% more free
E           F#                 B
Red light special at the mausoleum

E
Give me something that I need
F#                          E
Satisfaction guaranteed to you
E
What's the consolation prize?
F#                       B
Economy sized dreams of hope

When I was a kid, I thought
I wanted all the things that I haven't got
Oh, but I learned the hardest way
Then I realized what it took
To tell the difference between thieves and crooks
Lesson learned to me and you

Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed to you

Chorus:
            B               F#       G#m
Cause I'm thinking 'bout a brand new hope
    F#               E
The one I've never known
            F#
Cause now I know
                 B
It's all that I wanted

What's the consolation prize?
Economy sized dreams of hope
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed

Chorus:
            B               F#        G#m
Cause I'm thinking 'bout a brand new hope
    F#               E                 F#
The one I've never known, and where it goes
          B                F#    G#m
And I'm thinking 'bout the only road
    F#               E                  F#
The one I've never known, and where it goes
          B               F#        G#m
And I'm thinking 'bout a brand new hope
    F#               E
The one I've never known
             F#
Cause now I know
                 B
It's all that I wanted
