In the verses, I like to do a [ D5 ] to [ D5 ] to [ G5 ] walkup but it isn't necessary ? 
I just think it sounds a lot better.


Intro Chords: [ D5 ]  [ G5 ]  [ D5 ]  [ G5 ]ss


               [ D5 ]   [ D5 ]  [ G5 ]                   [ D5 ] 
It's New Years day,      just like the day before
                [ D5 ]    [ D5 ]  [ G5 ]                         [ A5 ]
Same old sky of gray       same empty bottles on the floor
                  [ B5 ] [ G5 ]                     [ D5 ]    [ A5 ]
Another year gone by and I'm thinkin once again
          [ D5 ]                [ A5 ]                 [ G5 ] 
How can I take this losin' hand, and somehow win


Chorus 1:
                      [ D5 ]     [ G5 ]
Just give me one good year
                    [ D5 ]
To get my feet back on the ground
          [ D5 ]      [ D5 ]       [ B5 ]                    [ A5 ]      [ G5 ]
I've been chasin grace, but grace ain't so easily found
[ G5 ]                [ D5 ]
One bad hand can devil a man
[ G5 ]                       [ D5 ]
Chase him and carry him down
  [ G5 ]                [ A5 ]                           [ D5 ]      [ G5 ]
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
             [ G5 ]     [ A5 ]
Its a bitter wind
                  [ B5 ] 
In your face everyday
               [ F#5 ]
Its the little sins
                     [ D5 ] 
That wear your soul away
                     [ G5 ]    [ A5 ]
When you start givin in
                          [ B5 ]
Where do the promises all go
          [ F#5 ]                                      [ A5 ]
Will your darkest hour write a blank check on your soul


Solo


Chorus 2:
                      [ D5 ]     [ G5 ] 
Just give me one good year
                    [ D5 ]
To get my feet back on the ground
          [ D5 ]       [ D5 ]      [ B5 ]                    [ A5 ]     [ G5 ]
I've been chasin' grace but grace ain't so easily found
[ G5 ]                [ D5 ]
One bad hand can devil a man
  [ G5 ]                      [ D5 ]
A good one can turn him around
  [ G5 ]                [ A5 ]
I gotta get out of here
                      [ B5 ]    [ A5 ]
Just give me one good year
  [ G5 ]                [ A5 ]                           [ D5 ]     [ G5 ]    [ D5 ]    [ G5 ]
I gotta get out of here, just give me one good year
