Intro: CFC
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
FC
Well, I've done right, that's clear
Am
Maybe I'll get better
FC
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?
G6Am
Oh, life is short
G6FC
Well, all good days disappear
Am
Maybe I've been lost
FC
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
FC
I've been fighting, a failure
Am
Maybe I've been lost
FC
Don't think I'll get found, this year
G6Am
Well, I've done wrong
G6FC
Well, I've done right, that's clear
Am
But maybe I'll get better
FC
Maybe I'll be different, next year
