A#m C# Fm
January sky like a slate wiped clean
D# C# G#
and stillness of air where nothing has been

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

day into night, night into day
D# C7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
Fm A# A#m7 G#
something like love will light up the way
[Verse]
A#m C# Fm
dying for change, but the feeling won't last
D# C# G#
summer will come and be over too fast
A#m C# Fm
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# C7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
Fm A# A#m7 G#
something like love will light up their face

happy new year to everyone hurting
C# G#
praying this time it all becomes clear

here when the light is pale and uncertain

happy new year
