[Verse]
G#m B D#m
January sky like a slate wiped clean
C# B F#
and stillness of air where nothing has been
G#m B D#m
wait for your word as if to say
C# B F#
another last chance lives from today
[Chorus]
B F#
happy new year - the world just keeps turning
B F#
day into night, night into day
C# A#7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
D#m G# G#m7 F#
something like love will light up the way
[Verse]
G#m B D#m
dying for change, but the feeling won't last
C# B F#
summer will come and be over too fast
G#m B D#m
grow into sun, fade into rain
C# B F#
a miniature life to live over again
[Chorus]
B F#
happy new year - the world just keeps going
B F#
tumbling round, screaming through space
C# A#7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
D#m G# G#m7 F#
something like love will light up their face
[Chorus]

happy new year to everyone hurting
B F#
praying this time it all becomes clear

here when the light is pale and uncertain

happy new year

happy new year
