[Verse]
D#m F# A#m
January sky like a slate wiped clean
G# F# C#
and stillness of air where nothing has been
D#m F# A#m
wait for your word as if to say
G# F# C#
another last chance lives from today
[Chorus]
F# C#
happy new year - the world just keeps turning
F# C#
day into night, night into day
G# F7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
A#m D# D#m7 C#
something like love will light up the way
[Verse]
D#m F# A#m
dying for change, but the feeling won't last
G# F# C#
summer will come and be over too fast
D#m F# A#m
grow into sun, fade into rain
G# F# C#
a miniature life to live over again
[Chorus]
F# C#
happy new year - the world just keeps going
F# C#
tumbling round, screaming through space
G# F7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
A#m D# D#m7 C#
something like love will light up their face
[Chorus]
F# C#
happy new year to everyone hurting
F# C#
praying this time it all becomes clear
G# F7
here when the light is pale and uncertain

happy new year

happy new year
