G# Fm I'm sick of cleaning up the mess you left behind C# What a way to start the new year G# On my hands and knees and cleaning up the Fm dirt and grime C# What a way to start the new year I'm sick of holding both ends of the tightrope Cause when you fall all that's left is old high hopes for me Stretched thin to the end trying to keep it all in What a way to start the new year D# A#m Won't you say that it's alright? D# C# Won't you tell me it's okay? Chorus: Because there's... G# D# C# G# Three hundred and sixty-four more days G# D# C# Fm I might be smiling but you'll never even hear me say Fm/D# C# That I like it in the shadows G#/C C# Counting down to zero just to start again D# Oh what a way to start the new year Don't get me wrong, I hate this holiday What a way to start the new year On my hands and knees, choosing what I have to say What a way to start the new year I never realized it could mean so much Just to go to bed later when we have to get up all the same And we scream and clap for the end of what was and what we've become Won't you say that it's alright? Won't you tell me it's okay? Chorus: Because we have 364 more days I might be smiling but you'll never even hear me say That I like it in the shadows Counting down to zero just to start again Oh what a way to start the new year A#m Cm Fm Was it really that bad? A#m Cm Fm And could it be better? A#m Cm Well, I don't know, C# But with you I still have hope A#m C# G# That this could be oh, my year! Was it really that bad? And could it be better? Well, I don't know, but with you I still have hope That this could be my year Chorus: 364 more days, 1 million chances left to find you and to see your face Making light out of the shadows, finally get to zero Maybe we'll both say 364 more days, 1 million chances left to find you and to see your face Making light out of the shadows, finally get to zero Maybe we'll both say What a way to start the new year You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#m  C  C#  Cm  D#  Fm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
