Dadd4           D    Dadd4 
It's New Year's Day 
D                        Dadd4 
Just like the day before 
D                 Bm 
Same old skies of grey 
G                         A 
Same empty bottles on the floor 
                  Bm    G 
Another year gone by 
                       D      Dadd4 
And I'm thinking once again 
D                          A 
How can I take this losing hand 
            G 
And somehow win 
 
                      D    Dadd4   D 
Just give me one good year 
                           Dadd4   D 
To get my feet back on the ground 
 
I've been chasing grace  
    Bm                    A  
But grace ain't so easily found 
G                D 
One bad hand can devil a man 
G                       A 
Chase him and carry him down 
G                  A 
I gotta get out of here 
                      D    Dadd4   D  D   Dadd4 
Just give me one good year 
 
I'm burning oil 
Engine's running rough 
I drive from job to job 
But it's never enough 
I can't find the will 
To just up and get away 
Some kind of chains holding me down 
To make me stay. 
 
Just give me one good year..... 
 
D             G     A 
It's a bitter wind 
                   Bm 
In your face every day 
                F#m 
It's the little sins 
                     A 
That wear your soull away 
                     G 
When you start giving in 
             A            Bm 
Where do the promises all go 
          F#m 
Will your darkest hour 
                             A 
Write a blank cheque on your soul 
 
 
Just give me one good year 
To get my feet back on the ground  
I've been chasing grace 
But grace ain't so easily found 
One bad hand can devil a man 
A good one can turn him around 
I gotta get out of here 
                      Bm 
Just give me one good year 
G                  A 
I gotta get out of here 
                      D   Dadd4   D 
Just give me one good year
