[Verse 1]
[G]I'm sick of cle[D]aning
up [G]the mess you left be[Em]hind
Oh what [C]a way to start the new y[G]ear
On my hands and [D]knees and
[G]cleaning out the dirt and grime
[Em]Oh what a [C]way to start the new year
[G]I'm sick of holding bot[D]h end[G]s
[C]of [D]a tightrope[Em]
Cause when you fall all that's
[C]left is old high hopes for me
[G]I'm stretched thi[D]n to the end
tryna keep it [Em]all in
Oh what a [C]way to start
the new [D]year
[Asus4]Won't you

[Verse 2]
say that it's all
[Am]right?[Em][C][D]
[Asus4]Won't you tell me it's
[D]okay?[C][G][C]
Because [G]there is three hundred
and [D]sixty [C]four more [G]days
I might be smiling but you'll

That I like it [D]in the [C]shadows
Counting down to [Bm]zer o,

On my hands and knees and choosing
