------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Year's Eve by Mal Blum -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Verse] C It's a happy new year G I'm making guacamole AmF You couldn't even pick up the fucking phone and call me C I don't like my t-shirt G I don't like my blue jeans AmF I don't like my attitude, but it's gonna be a party
[Pre-Chorus] CG Whoa-oh AmF Let's party
[Verse] C It's a happy new year G Last year was so stupid AmF Most of us were drunk and even more of us were puking C Though I heard a rumour-- G Something about bad shrimp? AmF Don't know how I made it up the stairs to your apartment
[Pre-Chorus] CG Whoa-oh Am I remember it F Whoa-oh C Climbing up to bed G Whoa-oh Am I remember it FG I remember it
[Chorus] FC And that's not all that I'm forgetting GAm It's a new year, the last one's ending FCG Don't know how I ever made it out FC Here's to nothing ever changing GAm If it were, then I'd be parting FCG ways with all the bad habits I found FC But I'll still hang around GAm I'll still hang around FC I'll still hang around G I'll still hang around
[Verse] C It's a happy new year G I'm eating guacamole AmF You kissed me at midnight 'cause you thought that I looked lonely C I don't like my outfit G I guess it's not important AmF 'Cause I like your four-track and the things you record on it
[Verse] C It's the time of year now G To keep your close friends closest AmF We'll be friends forever and I don't care if you know it C It's a happy new year G Unlike all the rest AmF Feels like I am changing and I know it's for the best
[Pre-Chorus] CGAm Whoa-oh I remember that FC Whoa-oh Climbing up to bed GAm Whoa-oh I remember that FG I remember that
[Chorus] FC And that's not all that I'm pretending GAm It's a new year, the last one's ending FCG And all the guacamole I made browned. FC Here's to always ever-changing GAm Circumstances we're arranging FCG Throwing all our cautions to the ground FC They only weigh you down GAm I won't let you down FC I won't let you down G I won't let you down
[Bridge] CG Hey, did you know you can check the time AmF Your call reaches the other line? CG Hey, did you know that I know you lied? Am So board it up and don't even try CGAmFC Last year is ending just in time. GAm I got out alive FC I got out alive G I got out alive
[Verse] F It's a happy new year C Here I am again GAmF Writing in my car, and this time I can't pretend that we are friends F We're not friends C Friends don't do the things we did GAm And the ones you've done since then makes think we've never been F When is this night gonna end? C Are you lying in her bed? G All these questions hit my head Am Hey where's the whiskey at again F You were discombobulated C When you showed up at my door G Leaving glitter on my floor Am But I don't like you anymore
[Outro] F No, I don't like you anymore C No, I don't like you anymore G No, I don't like you anymore Am No, I don't like you anymore
