               D                G                    D  
It's New Years day,      just like the day before
                 D               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                      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                     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
