[Intro]
D#sus2 Cmadd11
(x9)
[Verse 1]
D#sus2               Cmadd11
So this is the new year

D#sus2                    Cmadd11
And I don't feel any different

D#sus2                Cmadd11
The clanking of crystal

D#sus2                     Cmadd11
Explosions off in the distance

       G#add9    Bb    G#add9   Bb
In the distance
[Verse 2]
D#sus2               Cmadd11
So this is the new year

D#sus2                Cmadd11
And I have no resolutions

D#sus2                Cmadd11
No self-assigned penance

D#sus2                      Cmadd11 D#sus2
For problems with easy solutions
[Verse 3]
G#add9
So everybody put your best suit or dress on

Bb
Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once

G#add9
Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn

Bb
As thirty dialogs bleed into one
[Verse 4]
G#add9
I wish the world was flat like the old days

Bb
Then I could travel just by folding a map

G#add9
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways

Bb                                          G#add9
There'd be no distance that could hold us back
[Refrain]
Bb                                          G#add9
There'd be no distance that could hold us back

Bb                                          G#add9
There'd be no distance that could hold us back
[Break]
G#add9 Bb
(x2)
[Chorus]
D#sus2               Cmadd11
So this is the new year

D#sus2               Cmadd11
So this is the new year

D#sus2               Cmadd11
So this is the new year

D#sus2               Cmadd11   Bb
So this is the new year
