Like New Years Day

E      A
A      B     E


[Verse 1]
        E                      
On a quiet night driving out to 
 A
Harriet's again
     A                 B         
To breathe the air and soothe my 
E
mind
    E                              
A stranger might get lost out in 
  A
the emptiness
        A               B        
If he don't know how to read the 
E
signs

A      A       B


[Verse 2]
   E                           A
If Harriet isn't there I let myself 
in
                 A           B    
Cause when she's gone, she's gone 
      E
for a while
     E                          
I'll stay a couple days, this is 
 A
just a little trip
       A        B         E
To get out from under the pines


[Chorus]
     B                          
This place has got a hold on me, 
            E
it's got a hold on
     B                          
This place has got a hold on me, 
            E
it's got a hold on
A       E     B
Ooooooooooooooh

[Verse 3]
    E                              
The desert will remind you who you 
A
oughta be
      A        B       E
It'll show you who you are
        E                      
There's nothing to protect what 
        A
you're hiding
        F#m             B        
And I remember when she found my 
E
mark


[Chorus]
     B                          
This place has got a hold on me, 
            E
it's got a hold on
     B                          
This place has got a hold on me, 
            E
it's got a hold on
A
Ooooooooh
A       E    B
Ooooooooooooooh


[Verse 4]
      E                        A
Now I walk along the washout behind 
your place
    A           B      E
Lie down there in the sand
    E                          
And all that doesn't matter, it 
 A
drifts away
        F#m    B        E
And the wonder takes my hand

A      A      B     E
E     A      A      B      E


[Bridge]
          B                        
She's the bright hot sun in the 
       E
cold night
          B                        
She's the cold black darkness in 
           E
the starlight
          F#m                      
There are those I held onto and let
  A B
 go


[Chorus]
         B                      
But this one's got a hold on me, 
             E
she's got a hold on
     B                             
This one's got a hold on me, she's 
      E
got a hold on
A     E  B
Ooooooooooh


[Verse 5]
E                            
Early morning westbound on the 
  A
interstate
    A            B       E
California still fast asleep
E                    A
Dawn is in my mirror once again
    F#m     B         E
The light begins to weep
