Chords for The New Year - Touch and Go 25h Anniversary gig

_ _ We are [Abm] the New Year and we're really happy to be here.
[N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] Sharing [F] and forgiving are the [G] same. _
_ I can see the [C] causes and [F] the sign [G] of blame.
I think Touch and Go is very casual [Db] in a [Bb] business sense in terms of the agreements,
[D] but it's not a [E] very casually run [Em] business.
I think it's [C] run like a pretty tight ship.
Whereas I think a lot of other [F] labels [G] probably are spin thrifts
and just really kind of [C] maybe go nuts [F] with certain aspects.
I think Touch and Go knows where it benefits them [G] to spend some money
and where it benefits them to hold [C] back.
I think _
_ _ [F] they're sort of liberal in certain aspects of where they should be
in terms of contractual things and [Am] whatnot.
Very conservative [B] financially.
It's probably [Em] kept them going for a long time.
Kept it growing and growing.
When I [C] see you, I [C] don't believe you [G] were there. _
Not in time, but you were [C] there.
_ [F] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] I think it stands for something, first of all.
I think [G] it stands for a way that you can run a business successfully
[Bb] without having to be so business-like in the [F] worst ways.
Yeah.
I mean, anything that survives, [D] any business that survives [Am] _ now in this [G] country
using that business model is pretty remarkable.
And the fact that [Am] they haven't been selling widgets
[G] but have been selling art is even more remarkable. Yeah.
And I [Dm] think that it's _ [C] also [F] _ definitely a product of youth, [Abm] too, and youthful energy.
_ [A]
The pattern of the star [C] tells a story.
It's really [C] chaos, but order and order.
[A] And I hate to [C] listen to this second-right [Am]
gasp.
_ _ [Am] Gasps again.
_ [C] _ _
[D] Now I'm lying [C] in a fatal [D] position.
I know I never should have been a musician.
When I knew [C] my ears were losing their audition [Am] gas,
[C] I liked the way you [Am] smelled, gasp, so [F] wrong.
_ [Dm] _ _ [C] We always [Am] loved smarts and things.
[F] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] I heard the future [A] comes and we're born to live [C] in that town.
_ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Bm] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Am] _ _ [B] _
_ _ [C] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _
[C] I wouldn't speak for anybody [A] else, I promise.
I should have learned [C] how to speak my [D] native tongue.
I would [C] say I would know how to use my [Am] tongue, gasp,
[C] before that I've [Am] spent all that [C] time in the county, [A] Africa.
What I should [C] do and what I do are [A] my promise.
It brings the [C] best, my son, to me.
[A] There's a fly [C] in the ocean that [Am] goes green, but I'm not gasping.
[C] I'm not [Am]
gasping.
[C] She's just never [F] what I see. _ _ _ _
[C] I saw [Am] what they wanted me _ [F] _ _ [Dm] _
_ [C] to sit at him, _ gasp. _
[F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
