New Year

	  		
Intro 



Db 

verse 1 
Db 
She sets her alarm 
       Db7 
Five minutes to midnight 
   Bbm 
And wakes just in time 
   Gb 
To greet the new year 
  Db Gb 
Remembers the kisses 
   Db Gb 
Remembers the laughter 
   Bbm                Ab  Ab7 
And all that's gone away 

verse 2 
    Db 
She shuffles around 
  Db7 
Turning the lights on 
  Bbm 
Goes to the kitchen 
   Gb 
Gets the champagne 
Db Gb 
Opens the window 
Db Gb 
And wrapped in a blanket 
 Bbm            Ab   Ab7 
Begins to count and wait 
Gb         Ebm           Db   Ab    Bbm   Ab     Gb 
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one 
 
Ebm7                  Db 
Happy new year, happy new year
 

verse 3 
Db 
They say you can hear it 
Db7 
Over the island 
Bbm                          Gb 
Starting in Times Square and spreading throughout 
  Db         Gb 
A roar like the ocean 
   Db         Gb 
It comes from a distance 
   Bbm                    Ab Ab7 
Grows louder then turns quiet 

verse 4 
  Db 
She sits in a dream 
  Db7 
Or in a memory 
      Bbm               Gb 
While old conversations play in her ears 
Db Gb                      Db Gb 
Sometimes the minutes feel longer than hours 
Bbm            Ab      Ab7 
Some days feel long as years 

Pre-Chorus 
Gb         Ebm     Db      Ab         Bbm 
She's just glad she gets to be around 
   Gb   Ebm    Db         F          Bbm   Ab 
To see another spring come to this town 

      Gb              Ab 
Happy new year, happy new year 
   Db 
To you 


Verse 5 
Db 
She sets her alarm 
Db7 
Five minutes to midnight 
Bbm 
And wakes just in time 
Gb 
To say her goodbyes 
Db Gb                     Db Gb 
Thanking the old year for all it has brought her 
   Bbm                           Ab   Ab7 
No mention of the things it took away 

Verse 6 
Db 
She shuffles around 
Db7 
Turning the lights out 
Bbm 
Closes the window 
Gb 
Checks on the locks 
Db Gb 
Folds up the blanket 
Db Gb 
Empties the bottle 
Bbm                          Ab    Ab7 
And leaves it in the hallway dark 

Pre-Chorus 
Gb         Ebm     Db      Ab 
She's just glad she gets to be around

To see another spring come to this town
