Intro: C  F

 C
Another year older, it came and went
Blood and the tears and the money spent
    F
The new year's here with the same old cast
We dance and we drink like it may be our last
C
Buzzing and waiting for the countdown to come
Feels like slow motion, from ten to one
  F
A kiss and the fireworks light the sky
Falling apart over Auld Lang Syne
      G
Let's focus on this night alone
                                C
Just hope that we make it home alive

The Earth it turns, spring rushes in
Days get longer and nights grow thin
F
Mother wakes up a little brighter than before
Cold melts away and the gardens grow
    C
The air is crisp and the fields are sweet
Grass and the daffodils tickling our feet
F
Flowers they bloom and the birds they sing
Fill up the day with the songs they bring
      G
And I don't feel much like singing at all
                                     C
Seasons change, but I don't change at all

                Am
Well, I've done wrong
                F             C
Well, I've done right, that's clear
               Am
Maybe I'll get better
              F               C
Maybe I'll be different, this year

Ooh, here comes summer, well it's coming in hot
No shirt, no school, give it all you got
    F
The sun, it calls, so let's go outside
Toasting our drinks in the warm sunshine
    C
The asphalt smoulders in the city streets
You better run fast or you're gonna burn your feet
F
Splashing and yelling, the cannonball
Enough love and laughter for one and all
       G
Oh the future's, future's looking bright
                                        C
I think that I might get it right after all

Moody autumn blows in off a summer wind
Leaves fall off of the trees, never see them again
     F
Like embers, they float into the streets
Golden and red at the fancy feast
            C
Well, let's close all the curtains, let's stay inside
No flower, no fruit and the lawns all die
      F
Well, how could it all fall apart so fast
And why would I think it would ever last?
     G
When everything is dying
                       C
Well, how can I feel alive?

         G6 Am
Oh, life is short
          G6   F          C
Well, all good days disappear
                Am
Maybe I've been lost
               F             C
Maybe I'll get found, this year

Well, the winter and the cold come storming in
Kicks down the door and your blood runs thin
F
Day's too short and the night's too long
Carollers came, I can't sing along
    C
Oh, money's all gone, don't know where it went
Christmas ain't easy when you can't pay the rent
        F
And the lights go out to a silent night
And all you can do is just stay in the fight
      G
And I just can't see the wrong
                           C
And I just can't see the right

            Am
Oh, life is hard
          F               C
I've been fighting, a failure
                Am
Maybe I've been lost
                     F             C
Don't think I'll get found, this year

           G6   Am
Well, I've done wrong
           G6   F              C
Well, I've done right, that's clear
                   Am
But maybe I'll get better
              F                 C
Maybe I'll be different, next year
