[INTRO]
[G] [C] [G] [C] [G]
[VERSE 1]
He used to putter around in his barn all [C]day
A [G]tool for each job and each tool in its [C]place
[G]Whistling along to a song on the radi[C]o
While he [Am]poked through a Mason [C]jar full of nuts and [D]bolts
[VERSE 2]
Lawn[G]mowers and vacuums, windows with the glass all [C]cracked
[G]TV screens gone blank as cata[C]racts
He’d [G]take ‘em all apart when he got ‘em up on his [C]bench
One by [Am]one, he’d [C]bring ‘em back to life a[D]gain
[CHORUS]
He’s the [G]fix-it man, the [C]fix-it man [G/B]
He can’t [Am]put it back together, then [G]it was never worth a [D]damn
Maybe he’s [G]crazy for trying to save what’s already [Am]gone
Or just an [Cm]analog hero in a [F7]world full of zeroes and [G]ones [C]
[VERSE 3]
He [G]used to have a wife, but she passed a couple years a[C]go
[G]Someone thought he had a daughter out in New Mexi[C]co
Grew [G]up in the Depression, it’s a lesson that he’ll never for[C]get
There’s [Am]nothing so broken, ain’t [C]life left in it [D]yet
[CHORUS]
He’s the [G]fix-it man, the [C]fix-it man [G/B]
He can’t [Am]put it back together, then [G]it was never worth a [D]damn
Maybe he’s [G]crazy for trying to save what’s already [Am]gone
Or just an [Cm]analog hero in a [F7]world full of zeroes and [G]ones [C]
[BRIDGE]
Now your [Em]phone’s made in China and your [C]car is made in [G]Japan
Child [Em]labour sewing clothes in Ma[C]laysia and Viet[G]nam
Hell, it [Em]ain’t even broken and we’re [C]going for the up[G]grade [D]
Nobody th[Am]inks twice ‘bout what we’re really throwing a[Fm]way
[CHORUS]

[VERSE 4]
It’s [Em]out with the old, in with the ne[C]w
(It’s out with the old, in with the new)
[Em]Out with the old, in with the ne[C]w
(Out with the old, in with the new)
[Em]Out with the old, in with the [C]new
[Em]Out with the old, [F]in with the n[C]ew
