[Verse]
Em G Bm
January sky like a slate wiped clean
A G D
and stillness of air where nothing has been
Em G Bm
wait for your word as if to say
A G D
another last chance lives from today
[Chorus]
G D
happy new year - the world just keeps turning
G D
day into night, night into day
A F#7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
Bm E Em7 D
something like love will light up the way
[Verse]
Em G Bm
dying for change, but the feeling won't last
A G D
summer will come and be over too fast
Em G Bm
grow into sun, fade into rain
A G D
a miniature life to live over again
[Chorus]
G D
happy new year - the world just keeps going
G D
tumbling round, screaming through space
A F#7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
Bm E Em7 D
something like love will light up their face
[Chorus]
G D
happy new year to everyone hurting
G D
praying this time it all becomes clear
A F#7
here when the light is pale and uncertain
E A7m Bm
happy new year
D
happy new year
