[Verse 1]
N.C.    F         C              F               C
In the richest of seasons, we're drenched to the bone.

C         F              C                F             G
While the light is still bright, we bring the year to a close.

G                F             C
Sometimes we're standing there naked,

C      F          C                  F       C
frozen in our own past, and winter's ritual colors.

C   F              G
She rings out her last

G          F          C                 F         C
And in the richest of seasons, in these colors we bathe,

C            F        C                  F             G
we greet the onset of winter and what we know she will take.
[Chorus]
G          C    G                    C            G
And so you make resolutions, if it's all just the same

G    C          G                       C           D
If a wound is a wound, why not just cut myself upon change?
[Verse 2]
F            C                  F        C
In black and light, the year is formally closed

C             F          C               F          G
Yet still the darkest of seasons shimmer silver and gold

G        F             C               F         C
So let's dress up like penguins, we'll huddle en masse

C       F           C                       F            G
We will ring in the new year, we'll throw a curse to the last
[Chorus 2]
G         C    G                    C            G
And so we make resolutions, if it's all just the same

G    C          G                       C            D
If a wound is a wound, why not just cut myself upon change?

D        C            G             C               G
And so a toast to the New Year, and farewell to the last

G      C               G               C           D
May we dream ourselves forward, frozen wind at our backs
[Solo] Em / G / Em / G / Em / G / D [Chorus 3]
D        C            G             C               G
And so a toast to the New Year, and farewell to the last

G      C               G               C           D
May we dream ourselves forward, frozen wind at our backs

D       C            G                C              G
Another toast to the New Year, may we spring back to life

G        C            G               C          D
When the colors start shifting in the burgeoning light

D      C              G              C              G
May we spring back to life... may we spring back to life

G        C            G               C          D
When the colors start shifting in the burgeoning light
[Outro]
F            C                  F        G
In black and white, the year is formally closed.
