This Year

	  		



Intro: C  F 

 C 
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 
                F             C 
Well, I've done right, that's clear 
               Am 
Maybe I'll get better 
              F               C 
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? 


Chorus: 
         G6 Am 
Oh, life is short 
          G6   F          C 
Well, all good days disappear 
                Am 
Maybe I've been lost 
               F             C 
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 
          F               C 
I've been fighting, a failure 
                Am 
Maybe I've been lost 
                     F             C 
Don't think I'll get found, this year 




           G6   Am 
Well, I've done wrong 
           G6   F              C 
Well, I've done right, that's clear 
                   Am 
But maybe I'll get better 
              F                 C 
Maybe I'll be different, next year
