It's New Years day,      just like the day before
                     A                    B           E
Same old sky of gray       same empty bottles on the floor
                   Amaj7   A                       E      B
Another year gone by         and I'm thinkin once again
           E                  B                   A
How can I take this losin' hand, and somehow win

Chorus 1:
                       E       A
Just give me one good year
                     E
To get my feet back on the ground
           E        Amaj7     A                    B        A
I've been chasin grace, but grace ain't so easily found
                 E
One bad hand can devil a man
 A                         E
Chase him and carry him down
   A                  B                         E        A
I gotta get out of here, just give me one good year

            E     A                  E
I'm burnin oil,     engines runnin rough
                     A                    B           E
I drive from job to job but it's never enough
                 Amaj7   A                       E      B
I cant find the will       to just up and get away
                  E                B                         E
Some kind of chain's holdin' me down and makes me stay


Chorus 1:
                       E       A
Just give me one good year
                     E
To get my feet back on the ground
           E        Amaj7     A                    B        A
I've been chasin grace, but grace ain't so easily found
                 E
One bad hand can devil a man
 A                         E
Chase him and carry him down
   A                  B                         E        A
I gotta get out of here, just give me one good year

Bridge:
              A       B
Its a bitter wind
                   C#m
In your face everyday
                G#m
Its the little sins
                      E
That wear your soul away
                      A      B
When you start givin in
                           C#M
Where do the promises all go
           G#m                                        B
Will your darkest hour write a blank check on your soul

To get my feet back on the ground
                   Amaj7      A                      B       A
I've been chasin' grace but grace ain't so easily found

One bad hand can devil a man
   A                        E
A good one can turn him around
