[Verse]
Bm D F#m
January sky like a slate wiped clean
E D A
and stillness of air where nothing has been
Bm D F#m
wait for your word as if to say
E D A
another last chance lives from today
[Chorus]
D A
happy new year - the world just keeps turning
D A
day into night, night into day
E C#7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
F#m B Bm7 A
something like love will light up the way
[Verse]
Bm D F#m
dying for change, but the feeling won't last
E D A
summer will come and be over too fast
Bm D F#m
grow into sun, fade into rain
E D A
a miniature life to live over again
[Chorus]
D A
happy new year - the world just keeps going
D A
tumbling round, screaming through space
E C#7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
F#m B Bm7 A
something like love will light up their face
[Chorus]
D A
happy new year to everyone hurting
D A
praying this time it all becomes clear
E C#7
here when the light is pale and uncertain
B A7m F#m
happy new year

happy new year
