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 ]ss


               [ 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
