[Intro]
C G C G D B7 Em A Am G
[Verse]
Am C Em
January sky like a slate wiped clean
D C G
and stillness of air where nothing has been
Am C Em
wait for your word as if to say
D C G
another last chance lives from today
[Chorus]
C G
happy new year - the world just keeps turning
C G
day into night, night into day
D B7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
Em A Am7 G
something like love will light up the way
[Verse]
Am C Em
dying for change, but the feeling won't last
D C G
summer will come and be over too fast
Am C Em
grow into sun, fade into rain
D C G
a miniature life to live over again
[Chorus]
C G
happy new year - the world just keeps going
C G
tumbling round, screaming through space
D B7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
Em A Am7 G
something like love will light up their face
[Chorus]
C G
happy new year to everyone hurting
C G
praying this time it all becomes clear
D B7
here when the light is pale and uncertain
A A7m Em
happy new year
G
happy new year
A Am G
