[Verse]
C#m E G#m
January sky like a slate wiped clean

and stillness of air where nothing has been

wait for your word as if to say
F# E B
another last chance lives from today
[Chorus]
E B
happy new year - the world just keeps turning
E B
day into night, night into day
F# D#7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
G#m C# C#m7 B
something like love will light up the way
[Verse]
C#m E G#m
dying for change, but the feeling won't last
F# E B
summer will come and be over too fast
C#m E G#m
grow into sun, fade into rain
F# E B
a miniature life to live over again
[Chorus]
E B
happy new year - the world just keeps going
E B
tumbling round, screaming through space
F# D#7
holding on tight, millions all hoping
G#m C# C#m7 B
something like love will light up their face

happy new year to everyone hurting

praying this time it all becomes clear

here when the light is pale and uncertain
