Capo 1
In the verses, I like to do a D to D/F# to G walkup but it isn’t necessary –
I just think it sounds a lot better.
Intro Chords: D G D G
D D/F# G D
It's New Years day, just like the day before
D D/F# G A
Same old sky of gray same empty bottles on the floor
Bm G D A
Another year gone by and I'm thinkin once again
D A G
How can I take this losin’ hand, and somehow win
Chorus 1:
D G
Just give me one good year
D
To get my feet back on the ground
D D/C# Bm A G
I've been chasin grace, but grace ain't so easily found
G D
One bad hand can devil a man
G D
Chase him and carry him down
G A D G
I gotta get out of here, just give me one good year
I’m burnin oil, engines runnin rough
I drive from job to job but it’s never enough
I cant find the will to just up and get away
Some kind of chain's holdin’ me down and makes me stay
Chorus
Bridge
G A
Its a bitter wind
Bm
In your face everyday
F#m
Its the little sins

That wear your soul away
G A
When you start givin in
Bm
Where do the promises all go
F#m A
Will your darkest hour write a blank check on your soul
Solo
