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

D

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

Chorus 2:

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

A good one can turn him around

G A

I gotta get out of here

Bm A

Just give me one good year

G A D G D G

I gotta get out of here, just give me one good year
