New Year

D                      G
so this is the new year
D                      G
and I don't feel any different
D                      G
the clanking of crystal
D                      G         
explosions off in the distance 
      Bm G Bm G
(in the distance)

D                      G
so this is the new year
D                      G
and I have no resolutions
D                      G
for self-assigned penance
D                      G
for problems with easy solutions

D

G
so everybody put your best suit or 
dress on
Bm                           
let's make believe that we are 
  D
wealthy for just this once
G
lighting firecrackers off on the 
front lawn
Bm                  D
as thirty dialogues bleed into one

G
I wish the world was flat like the 
old days
Bm                          D
then I could travel just by folding 
a map
G
no more airplanes, or speed trains, 
or freeways
Bm                              D
there'd be no distance that can hold
 us back

G

Bm                              
there'd be no distance that could 
   D           G
hold us back
Bm                              
there'd be no distance that could 
   D           G
hold us back
Bm                              
there'd be no distance that could 
   D           G
hold us back
