[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab] It's New [Eb] Year's Day, [Ab] just like [Eb] the day before, same old skies of gray, [Ab] same empty [Bb] bottles
on the floor, [Eb] another year [Cm] gone by.
[Ab] And I'm thinking [Eb] once again, [Bb] [Eb] how can I take this losing [Bb] hand, [Eb] somehow [Ab] win?
Just give me one [Eb] good year, [Ab] to get my feet [Eb] back on the ground.
I've been chasing grace, [Cm] but grace ain't so [Bb] easily found.
[Ab]
One bad [Eb] hand can devil a man, [Ab] chase him and carry [Eb] him down.
[Ab] I gotta get out [Bb] of here, just give me one [Eb] good year.
[Ab] I'm burning [Eb] oil, [Ab] engines running [Eb] rough, I drive from job to job, [Ab] but it's never [Bb] enough.
[Eb] I can't [Cm] find the will, [Ab] to just up and [Eb] get away.
[Bb] [Eb] Some kind of chain's holding [Bb] me down, [Eb] make [Ab] me stay.
Just give me one [Eb] good year, [Ab] to get my feet [Eb] back on the ground.
I've been chasing [Bb] grace, [Cm] but grace ain't so [Bb] easily found.
[Ab]
One bad [Eb] hand can devil a man, [Ab] chase him and carry [Eb] him down.
[Ab] I gotta get out [Bb] of here, just give me [Eb] one good year.
It's a bitter [Ab] wind, [Bb] in your face [Cm] every day.
It's the [Gm] little sins, that wear your [Eb] soul away.
When you start [Ab] giving in, [Bb] where do the promises [Cm] all go?
[Gm] Will your darkest hour, write a blank check [Bb] on your soul?
