[E] [Abm] [A] [E]
[B] [D] How long's the next year?
[E] Three and a half minutes.
[B] [Abm] [A] [E]
[B] [D] [E]
[B] [Abm] [A] [E]
[D] [Gb]
[A] [Gb]
[A] [C] [D] [E]
[B] [Abm] [A] [E]
[B] [D]
[Ab] Coast is clear.
You're supposed to be working.
That's for midnight.
Where are they?
There isn't much time.
[N] Maybe they're dressing.
I mean what does one wear that's apropos for a party?
That's [Bb] also a crime.
Chips anyone?
You can take the girl out of Hicksville, but you can't take [E] Hicksville out [G] of the girl.
My riot got you on TV.
I deserve [Dbm] a [Bb] royalty.
Be nice to two or no bad-ass for some [A] pain.
[G] Don't mind if I do.
No lock.
Old, good plywood padlocked to the chain.
A total dead end.
Just like my ex [C]
-girlfriend.
[Bb] [C] [Eb] [F] [C] [Gm] Honey, I [F] know you're [Bb] there.
[C] Please [Bb] pick up the [C] phone.
[Bb] Are you [C] okay?
[Bb] [F] [Bb] [C] It's not [Bb] fun.
[F] It's [C] not [Bb] fair.
[C] How can I [F] atone?
[C] [Eb] Are you [C] okay?
[F] [Bb] [F] I lose control, but I can learn to behave.
Give me one more chance.
Let me be your slave.
[G] I'll kiss your Doc Martens.
Let me kiss your Doc Martens.
Your every wish I will love.
[Bm] [C]
[Bb] That [F] might be [Bb] okay.
[C] [Bb] Down [F] girl.
[C] [Bb] Heel stay.
[C] I did [Fm] a bit of [Bb] research [C] with my friends at Legal [Bb] Aid.
[C] Technically [Bb] you're squatters.
There's hope.
[C] But just in case.
[Db] Rope!
[D] You can hoist a line.
To [C] the fire [D] escape.
Then tie off [B] that [C] That bench.
[D] I can't take [C] the [D] mischance.
[E]
Start hoisting, wench.
[C] [G] I think [Em] I should be [F] napping.
[C] Yet I forget.
[G] Forget how [Bb] to begin.
[C] I'm feeling something [G] inside.
[Em] And yet I still [F] can't decide.
[C] If I should [G] hide or make a [Bb] wide open grave.
[D] Last week I wanted [F] just to disappear.
[D] My life was dust.
But [F] now it just may [Ab] be a [Bb] happy [C] new [G]
year.
[E] [F] A happy [C] new [G] year.
[Bb] [C] Bond.
[D]
James [G] Bond.
[C] And Pussy Galore in [Am] person.
Pussy, you [E] came prepared.
[A] I was a boy scout once.
[Bm] And a [A] brownie.
And so some brat got scared.
[C] Ah, money penny.
[D] My martini.
[G] What bad [C] champagne do.
[F] Oh, that's shaken, [E] not stirred.
Pussy, [A] the bolts.
Just say the [Gb] word.
[A] Two minutes left to [Gb] execute our [G] plan.
Why's everyone else playing Spider-Man?
[Em] Ironic close-up tight.
On the phone machines red [A] light.
Once the boho [C] boys are [N] gone.
The power mysteriously [D] comes on.
[C] [G] [Em] [F]
And we've been [C] selling out.
[G] But [Bb] it's nice to drink.
Yeah.
[C] It's network [G] TV.
[Em] And it's all for [F] me.
[C] Somehow I think I [G] smell the [Bb] whiff of a scheme.
Me too.
[D] We can plan [F] a night.
We.
[D] This time you can shoot from the start.
[F] You'll do right.
[Ab] [Bb] [G] Five, four, three, open [C] sesame.
Happy new [G] year.
[Em]
[C] Happy new [G] [Bb] year.
Happy [C] new.
[Ab] [Gm] [C] I see that you've beaten me to the pun.
How did you know we'd be [Ab] here?
I [Bb] had a [C] hunch.
You're not mad.
I'm here to end this war.
It's a shame you [Ab] went and [Bb] destroyed the door.
[C] Right.
All of a sudden we're big about face.
The credit is [Ab] yours.
You made [Gm] a good [C] case.
You made it seem as if you had much to say.
That's not how you put it [Bb] at all.
Yesterday.
[C] I couldn't stop thinking about the whole mess.
Mark, you want to get this on film. [G] I [Am] guess.
I regret [E] the unlucky circumstances of the past seven [F] [G] days.
Circumstance, you [D] padlocked our door.
[F] And it's with great pleasure on behalf of [C] CyberArts that I hand you this [A] key.
Oh, [D] claps.
I had no juice in my [F] battery. Reshoot.
Oh, I see.
This [Ab] is a photo [Bb] opportunity.
[C] The benevolent God [Ab] ushers the poor [Bb] artists [C] back to their flats.
Were you planning on taking down the barbed wire [Cm] from the lot too?
[Gm] Anything but [C] that.
Clearing the line was a safety concern.
We break ground this month, but [Bb] you can return.
[C] That's why you're here with people you hate.
Instead of with [Ab] mafia, [D] mafia's a state.
[C] I honestly rather be with you tonight than in Westport.
[Ab] Spirits all [Bb] sport the [C] sound bite.
Mimi's into wigs, so zip it up.
Hey, man, to me.
I don't persuade him, I'm not being [Ab] self [Bb]-counterproductive.
[C] Why not tell him what you want on my face?
I'll be on my way [Bb] to work.
Like leather and [C] lace.
[F] My guest was a mess, I think I'm still sore.
[Cm] Cause I can't give him enough to leave my wads [Gm] in his car.
[C] Well, does your boyfriend know who your last boyfriend was?
I've got a boyfriend, I don't care what [G] she [Am] does.
People, is this any way to [E] start a new year?
[F] [G] I had compassion, then he just [D] lost his cat.
My dog, but I [Bm] appreciate that.
[F] My cat had a fall, and I went through [C] hell.
It's like losing a
how did you know she [D] fell?
Champagne.
Don't mind if I [E] do.
[F] The dog!
No [A] penny to you!
[D]
[A] Let's make the leather [G] look shine.
[D] I'll give to that.
Let's always [C] stay friends.
Though we [D] may have [A] our skus.
This family tree's [G] got deep room.
[D] Friendship is thicker [A] than blood. [C] That depends.
[E]
Depends on trust.
[G] Depends on true devotion.
[E]
Depends on love.
[G] Depends on non [Bb]-denying [C] emotion.
[D]
[A] Perhaps.
[G] It's gonna be a [D] happy new year.
[A] [C] I guess.
It's gonna be a [D] happy new [A] year.
[Gbm] You're [G] right.
It's gonna be a happy [D] new year.
[A] [C] I'm
[D] [Bm] [Gb] [G]
[A] sorry.
[D] Call [A] me in a minute.
[C] I'm [D] fine, girl.
[C]
[D] [Eb]
Well, well, well.
What have we here, huh?
It's gonna be a
A [Gm] happy new [D]
year.
There, there, huh?
There, there.
