Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:

N.C.  FF     C majorC       FF        C majorC
In the richest of seasons, we're drenched to the bone.
C majorC     FF       C majorC        FF       G+G
While the light is still bright, we bring the year to a close.
G+G        FF       C majorC
Sometimes we're standing there naked,
C majorC   FF     C majorC         FF    C majorC
frozen in our own past, and winter's ritual colors.
C majorC  FF       G+G
She rings out her last
G+G     FF     C majorC         FF     C majorC
And in the richest of seasons, in these colors we bathe,
C majorC      FF    C majorC         FF       G+G
we greet the onset of winter and what we know she will take.

Chorus:

G+G     C majorC  G+G          C majorC      G+G
And so you make resolutions, if it's all just the same
G+G  C majorC     G+G            C majorC      D MajorD
If a wound is a wound, why not just cut myself upon change?


Verse 2:

FF      C majorC         FF    C majorC
In black and light, the year is formally closed
C majorC       FF     C majorC        FF     G+G
Yet still the darkest of seasons shimmer silver and gold
G+G    FF       C majorC        FF     C majorC
So let's dress up like penguins, we'll huddle en masse
C majorC    FF      C majorC            FF      G+G
We will ring in the new year, we'll throw a curse to the last


Chorus 2:

G+G     C majorC  G+G          C majorC      G+G
And so we make resolutions, if it's all just the same
G+G  C majorC     G+G            C majorC      D MajorD
If a wound is a wound, why not just cut myself upon change?
D MajorD    C majorC      G+G       C majorC        G+G
And so a toast to the New Year, and farewell to the last
G+G   C majorC        G+G        C majorC      D MajorD
May we dream ourselves forward, frozen wind at our backs

Chorus 3:
D MajorD    C majorC      G+G       C majorC        G+G
And so a toast to the New Year, and farewell to the last
G+G   C majorC        G+G        C majorC      D MajorD
May we dream ourselves forward, frozen wind at our backs
D MajorD    C majorC      G+G        C majorC       G+G
Another toast to the New Year, may we spring back to life
G+G    C majorC      G+G        C majorC     D MajorD
When the colors start shifting in the burgeoning light
D MajorD   C majorC       G+G       C majorC       G+G
May we spring back to life... may we spring back to life
G+G    C majorC      G+G        C majorC     D MajorD
When the colors start shifting in the burgeoning light


Outro:

In black and white, the year is formally closed.
