New Year's Eve

[Intro] C  G  F  Em

C                    G           
Well it's a new year, with it 
                          F
comes new hopes and new fears
                   Em
Met a young man who was in tears, he
 asked me
F                    G
"What induces us to stay here?"
       C                       G
I said, "I don't know much and I'm 
not lying
C                           G
But I think you just have to keep on
 trying."

F                 Em       
And I know I am naive, but if 
    C
anything
Am                         F
That's what's going to save me
G                         C
That's what's going to save me

C                      
Took a stroll around the 
    G         C                
neighborhood where the trees are 
    G
swaying

C                              
People passed in cars with their 
   G           C            
windows down, with a pop song 
      G
playing
F                  Em            
A man walked by, walking back and
                    F
 forth the street with a drunken 
smile to go
   G
Along
F             Em                 
He stopped to look at me and say,
         F                      
 "Child, don't fear doing things 
   G
wrong."

F             G           
Yet I am still afraid but if 
      C
anything
Am                        F
That's what's going to save me
G                         C
That's what's going to save me

Am                              
Now I have a lot to learn and I'm 
D7
starting tonight
F                                 
Got to stop looking at things like
           Em
 they're black and they're white
Am                             D7
Got to write more songs of a little 
more, treat my friends better
F                        
Got to stop worrying about 
        Em
everything to the letter
F                            Em
And sometimes when it's too hard to 
go on
F                    Em
It just might be you that I call 
upon

F                  Em            
But I find it hard to believe, 
      C
but if anything
Am                        F
That's what's going to save me
G                        C
That's what's going to save me

F
Tell me, tell me
G                      C     F  G  C
Oh, what's going to save me?
