This is the chord progression of New by Ben Platt on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
Em                               G                        Am
Wish that I’d known this feeling was coming
When I was crying over you
Em                     G                               Am
Now that you’re gone, I carry nothing
It feels like flying

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                               G                               Am
Boy, I used to throw a party over every little thing you’d do
Never going back, never going back to that
Em                                         G                                                   Am
Heartsick little lover boy who went and lost himself in you
‘Cause now I’m feeling so brand

[Chorus]
Em     G           Am
New, new, new
Em                               G                             Am
Oh, I’ve never felt so brand new, new, new
Oh, I’ve never felt so brand

[Verse 2]
Em                     G                     Am
I paid a price, worked and I wallowed
Burned all your letters just for fun
Em           G                     Am
All of that time is easy to swallow
Now that I’m better

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Oh, and somewhere in your room
G                                         Am
I left my virtue and my favorite shoes
I don’t want ’em back, never give ’em back to me
Em                               G                               Am
You can walk a mile in ’em, tell me how they feel on you
I’ll be busy being so brand

[Chorus]
Em    G    Am
New, new, new
Em                               G                     Am
Oh, I’ve never felt so brand new, new, new
Oh, I’ve never felt so brand new

[Post-Chorus]
Em      G           Am
So brand new
Never felt so brand
Em     G     Am
So brand new
Never felt so brand

[Bridge]
Em     G     Am
So brand new
Em                     G                     Am
So brand new, oh (So brand new)
No, I’ve never felt so brand new

[Chorus]
Em           G           Am
New, new, new (So brand new)
Em                               G                     Am
Oh, I’ve never felt so brand new, new, new (So brand new)
Oh, I’ve never felt so brand new

[Outro]
Em    G    Am
So brand new
Em
I’ve never felt so brand new
