F C F C G E7 Am D Dm C
[Verse]
Dm F Am
January sky like a slate wiped clean
G F C
and stillness of air where nothing has been
Dm F Am
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 E7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
Am D Dm7 C
something like love will light up the way
[Verse]
Dm F Am
dying for change, but the feeling won't last
G F C
summer will come and be over too fast
Dm F Am
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 E7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
Am D Dm7 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 E7
here when the light is pale and uncertain
D A7m Am
happy new year
C
happy new year
D Dm G
