[Verse 1]
                                         C 
He used to putter around in his barn all day 
  G                                      C
A tool for each job and each tool in its place 
G                                    C
Whistling along to a song on the radio 
         Am                    C                    D
While he poked through a Mason jar full of nuts and bolts 


[Verse 2]
    G                                              C
Lawnmowers and vacuums, windows with the glass all cracked 
G                            C
TV screens gone blank as cataracts 
     G                                            C
He’d take ‘em all apart when he got ‘em up on his bench 
       Am        C                       D
One by one, he’d bring ‘em back to life again 


[Chorus]
         G               C           G/B
He’s the fix-it man, the fix-it man 
         Am                         G                    D 
He can’t put it back together, then it was never worth a damn 
           G                                       Am
Maybe he’s crazy for trying to save what’s already gone 
           Cm               F7                       G      C
Or just an analog hero in a world full of zeroes and ones 


[Verse 3]
   G                                                   C
He used to have a wife, but she passed a couple years ago 
G                                                C
Someone thought he had a daughter out in New Mexico 
     G                                                       C
Grew up in the Depression, it’s a lesson that he’ll never forget 
        Am                       C               D
There’s nothing so broken, ain’t life left in it yet 


[Chorus]
         G               C           G/B
He’s the fix-it man, the fix-it man 
         Am                         G                    D 
He can’t put it back together, then it was never worth a damn 
           G                                       Am
Maybe he’s crazy for trying to save what’s already gone 
           Cm               F7                       G      C
Or just an analog hero in a world full of zeroes and ones 


[Bridge]
         Em                             C              G   
Now your phone’s made in China and your car is made in Japan 
      Em                         C              G   
Child labour sewing clothes in Malaysia and Vietnam
         Em                          C               G      D
Hell, it ain’t even broken and we’re going for the upgrade 
         Am                                           Fm
Nobody thinks twice ‘bout what we’re really throwing away 


[Chorus]
         G               C           G/B
He’s the fix-it man, the fix-it man 
         Am                         G                    D 
He can’t put it back together, then it was never worth a damn 
           G                                       Am
Maybe he’s crazy for trying to save what’s already gone 
           Cm               F7                       Em    C   Em   C
Or just an analog hero in a world full of zeroes and ones 


[Verse 4]
     Em                              C
It’s out with the old, in with the new 

(It’s out with the old, in with the new)
Em                              C
Out with the old, in with the new 

(Out with the old, in with the new)
Em                            C
Out with the old, in with the new 
Em                F            C
Out with the old, in with the new
