When everyones inside
Am                       G

We'd raise our voices to the sky
Am                         G
We'd bring the New Year in right

Em               F               G              Am

Em               F               G
If I didn't have strangers as my best friends
Am                  Em                  F                    C
I'm sitting here on New Years thinking 'bout old friends and old times

Yeah, sometimes I still wonder what my life would've been like
Em               F         G
