Intro: D* A* Em G (4x)
* Mess around with lifting your finger off the second fret of the first string
on D and the second fret of the fifth string on A and playing them open until you get the rhythm the way it is on the recording. This only happens in the intro, though. Verse:
D                     A
Thursday's crush is a Friday night rush

      Em             G
And a Monday morning cry

         A                     G
It's the tail that you keep chasing

       A               G
And it gets away every time

D                       A
New Year's Eve and it's hard to believe

        Em              G
Another Zodiac's gone around

          A                        G
While you drank yourself high on hoping

                A                      G
And watched the ceiling spin from the ground
Pre-chorus:
F#
Counting down from ten it's time

       Bm
To make your annual prayer

F#
Secret Santa in the sky

     Bm                E
When will I get my share
Chorus:
         Em             D
Then you tell yourself

         A              E
What you want to hear

          Em              G
Cause you have to believe

          A          D A Em G
This will be my year

                D    A Em G
This will be my year
Verse:
D                            A   
Pound your fist and cross it off your list

        Em                      G
But you know you're not that strong

         A                     G   
When the man at the stop light catches you

          A                      G
Singing along to a brand new song
Well maybe it's
D                      A
Trash or the overnight smash that brings your 

Em                            G
Ship crashing through the wall

           A                        G
So you can make your grand departure

       A                       G
>From a world getting way too small
Pre-chorus:
F#
One wheel in the ditch another

Bm
Spinning in the air

F#
Put your pedal down to the floorboard but you're not 

Bm               E
Getting anywhere
Chorus:
         Em             D
Then you tell yourself

         A              E
What you want to hear

          Em              G
Cause you have to believe

          A          D A Em G
This will be my year

                D    A Em G
This will be my year

                D    A Em G
This will be my year

                D    A Em G
This will be my year
Outro: D A Em G until end.
