verse 1: 
Am             C                  F  Am 
I just want to sleep with someone new, 
        C          G 
Someone I've never met. 
Am             C       F        Am 
Knowing it's a foolish thing to do, 
F           Am    C      G 
And sure to cause regret. 
G           Am        F           C 
There is no reason to do our love wrong, 
Am         C             G         C 
When we're together it's sweet and strong, 
Am             G 
It's where I belong. 


verse 2: 
Am             C                  F   Am 
I just want to sleep with someone new, 
          C         G 
Who doesn't know my name, 
Am            C             F      Am 
Who comes and takes my hand out of the blue, 
F         Am   C     G 
Just like in a dream. 
G        Am       F        C 
Pass any doorway, ride any train. 
Am            C                      F         Am 
Walk into any room and beauty stakes its claim, 
F         C              G 
Drives it home again and again. 

Am             C                      F   Am 
Oh, I just want to sleep with someone new.
