      Year: 2015

Key: E
Tempo: 81 (4/4)

Intro: C#m - E

VERSE I
     C#m                  E
They tell me the best in life is free
    C#m                 E                      C#m
And I feel spent so I guess it means that the best is mine
         E           C#m     E
But it doesn’t seem so
       C#m            E
While I’m out here confessing things
C#m                    E
All last year got the best of me
      C#m                 E                 C#m
And I’m not sure that I’m ready for another go
       E
It’s New Year’s Day


PRE-CHORUS
    E                  A
Euphoria’s gone, it’s time to move on
   E                      Am
I have to believe we can change
           E
When the notes come out wrong
      A
Stop singing along
     E                     Am
We can’t be the same old thing
It’s New Year’s Day

CHORUS
     E                D                  A
I’m tearing down the past years off the wall (It’s New Year’s Day)
     E             D               A
I’m coming at you like a wrecking ball (It’s New Year’s Day)
      C#m              B            A
And I think I’m gonna make it after all
It’s New Year’s Day

E - A


VERSE II
   E
I said sometimes I can’t stand myself
     A
And most times I wish I could be anyone else
        E                                     A
When I look in the mirror my eyes are getting old
       E
And she said yeah I see your point of view
         A
But it could be just a phase that you’re going through
         E                                       A
And it feels like we could make something beautiful
It’s New Year’s Day

Stop singing along
    E                     Am
We can’t be the same old thing
