D                              A
You're right, new things are great
                              Em
They shine and they're never late
                               G
Don't break down on the interstate
                               D
You're right, new things are great

Good point, money ain't everything
But honey, having none sure stings
I love angels, but I need kings
Good point, money ain't everything

Bm
I know that I can't buy
F#/A#
Happiness or love or time
       G
But if anything could be mine
               E
Then what I'd do is take Fifth Avenue

Chorus:
D
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
A
Niagara Falls, too
Bm
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
G
And maybe everything blue
D
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
F#m
And what I'd rather do
Bm            A               G
Is just stay right here with you
                D             A
Laying on your futon (Futon, futon)
                Bm            G
Laying on your futon (Futon, futon)

So much for being brave
When chivalry is aftershave
And what you drive is how you weigh in or out
So let's say hypothetically
That I own the Baltic Sea
To sink or swim, you've got to ask please
Would I feel better if I had the keys?

I know that I can't buy
Happiness or love or time
But if anything could be mine
Then what I'd do is take Fifth Avenue

Chorus:
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And what Picasso drew
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Or the mountains of Peru
And what I'd rather do
Is just stay right here with you
Laying on your futon (Futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (Futon, futon)

    Em
So come on, baby, pass the grass
A
Is that remote underneath your ass?
F#
'Cause I can't find it anywhere
Bm                   A
Mmm, baby, I should run downstairs
Em
And grab us both a sweet cold stone
Bm                   A
You want a cup or a waffle cone?
    G
Or happiness or love or time
                                  D
Or maybe I'll just take Fifth Avenue

Chorus:
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'll take the pyramids too
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And maybe classes in kung fu or jujutsu
And what I'd rather do
Is just stay right here with you

Laying on your futon (Futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (Futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (Futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (Futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (Futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (Futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (Futon, futon)
Laying on your futon (Futon, futon)
