 "The New Year" Chords
 by Parachute
 Chords by Joe G
 
 Capo on 1
 
 Em* refers to 022003 (relative to the capo). Basically an Em with your pinky on
 the 3rd fret of the high E string.
 
 An asterisk (*) by itself indicates a muted chord, it's there to help show the pace of the song.

 G C 
   
 
 G * Em
 I'm sick of cleaning up the mess you left behind
             C                          
 (Oh, what a way to start the new year!)
 G * Em
 On my hands and knees and cleaning up the dirt and grime
             C                          
 (Oh, what a way to start the new year!)
 
 G *
 I'm sick of holding both ends of the tightrope
 Em                             C                         
 Cause when you fall all that's left is old high hopes for
 G * Em
 me. Stretched thin, to the end, trying to keep it all in
            C                         
 Oh, what a way to start the new year!
 
 D                          Am    
  Won't you say that it's alright?
 D                       C    
  Won't you tell me it's okay?
 
 
 Because there's...
 G                 D     C         G   
 Three hundred and sixty-four more days
 G G D C Em*
 I might be smiling but you'll never even hear me say
 Em* Em/D C
 That I like it in the shadows
 Em* C
 Counting down to zero just to start again
           D                        
 Oh what a way to start the new year
 
 G C G C 
     
 G * Em
 Don't get me wrong, I hate this holiday
         C                          
 (What a way to start the new year!)
 G                      G                         Em 
 On my hands and knees, choosing what I have to say
         C                          
 (What a way to start the new year!)
 G                         G           
 I never realized it could mean so much
         Em                      C                      G    
 Just to go to bed later when we have to get up all the same,
       G                        Em                  C                       
 And we scream and clap for the end of what was and what we've become, oh...
 
 D                         Am    
 Won't you say that it's alright?
 D                      C    
 Won't you tell me it's okay?
 
 'Cause we have...
 G                 D     C         G   
 Three hundred and sixty-four more days
 G          G                  D          C       Em 
 I might be smiling but you'll never even hear me say
 Em* Em/D C
 That I like it in the shadows
 Em* C
 Counting down to zero just to start again
           D                        
 Oh what a way to start the new year
 
 Am Bm C Em*
 Was it really that bad?
 Am C Em*
 And could it be better?
 Am             Bm   
  Well, I don't know,
          C                C   
 But with you I still have hope
      Am            C                G 
 That this... could be... oh, my year!
 
 * D C G
 Three hundred and sixty-four more days,
 G D C Em*
 One million chances left to find you and to see your face
 Em* Em/D C Em*
 Making light out of my shadows, finally get to zero
                      C    D               
 And maybe we'll both say,  that we have...

 One million chances left to find you and to see your face
 Em Em/D C Em*
 Making light out of my shadows, finally get to zero
                      C  
 And maybe we'll both say
             D                      G
