_ _ _ _ Well, we're just gonna finish this set with one of our own songs.
This is a song that's been really good to us on the radio this past little bit.
It's called The Best Things.
I'd like to wish you all a very happy new year. _ _
_ _ Thank you for coming down.
_ _ Big kiss from [E] Dave.
_ [Bm] Thanks everybody at BT, our television home. _ _ _

_ _ _ Here we sit my 19th summer, standing in a burning [A] August [E] heat.
[A] That I [E] left a small town [A] boy, _
[E] Toronto, another [D] butter suitcase and a [B] dream. _ _
[E] By design [A] I'd be [E] a rich man, maybe be the envy [A] of [E] Bay Street.
But I had to leave [A] before [E] that city [D] filled a small town boy [B] in me.
_ _ And I [E] could see that [A] the best things are never [B] the ones that you thought they would be.
So [A] I rolled up my panties, [B] so they [A] don't [E] change in me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I went to school [A] in the capital [E] _ city, and between the books they'd carry it on. _
I went out and bought [A] a laptop, [E] six straight, [D] cracked my head and writing [B] songs. _
[E] Me and Don we had a [A] contest, and practiced all that I could [E] do.
_ [A] I could [E] comprehend change is coming, but [D] never had a dozen _ [B]
chances.
_ _ And I [E] could see _ [A] that the best things are never [B] the ones that you thought [C#m] they would [B] be.
[A] So I rolled up my [B] panties, so they [A] don't [E] change in me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _
I'm a powerful _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ [D] man, and _ _
_ [B] I'm a man of many talents.
_ Many [E] times I have changed direction, only by a matter of degrees.
Cause I know a love's place I'm headed, if I [D] keep chasing down my [B] dreams.
Never [E] did I hurt [A] a dime [E] on Bay Street, [A]
but I [E] am a richer [A] [E] man by far.
Haven't kept a small town boy inside me, singing [D]
songs with my [B] guitar. _
Cause _ I could [E] see _ [A] that the best things [D] are never [B] the ones that you thought [C#m] they would [B] be.
[A] So I rolled up [Bm] my panties, so they [A] don't [E] change in _ _ me.
Yeah, I [C#m] rolled up my panties, [E] so they don't [A] change [E] in me.

Thank you.
_ _ Happy New Year everybody.
Thank _ _ _ _ _ _ you.
