[Verse]
Gm A# Dm
January sky like a slate wiped clean
C A# F
and stillness of air where nothing has been
Gm A# Dm
wait for your word as if to say
C A# F
another last chance lives from today
[Chorus]
A# F
happy new year - the world just keeps turning
A# F
day into night, night into day
C A7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
Dm G Gm7 F
something like love will light up the way
[Verse]
Gm A# Dm
dying for change, but the feeling won't last
C A# F
summer will come and be over too fast
Gm A# Dm
grow into sun, fade into rain
C A# F
a miniature life to live over again
[Chorus]
A# F
happy new year - the world just keeps going
A# F
tumbling round, screaming through space
C A7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
Dm G Gm7 F
something like love will light up their face
[Chorus]
A# F
happy new year to everyone hurting
A# F
praying this time it all becomes clear
C A7
here when the light is pale and uncertain
G A7m Dm
happy new year
F
happy new year
G Gm G
