Verse 1:
G                       Em
I held your hand on the bus back to Richmond
     C/G                    D7/A
From New York on New Year's Day
      G                       Em
Last night, we forgot the champagne
               C/G                   D7/A
So you drank a forty and bought me a nasty rosé


Verse 2:
 G                              Em
We watched the ball drop from Brooklyn
               C/G                 D7/A
The East River shining a sloppy display
            G        G7/F   Em
Watercolor fireworks far  away
             C/G
Mmm, mmh-mmh-mm

Verse 3:
          G                 Em
Midnight hit, and we didn't kiss
            C/G                   D7/A                      G
I kissed Mackenzie and Carson and tried not to look in your eyes
  G  G/F#  G7/F  Em          C/G          D7/A  D7sus4/A  D7/A
Your hopes were  high, and I hate falling short


Verse 4:
 G                         Em
Back at the flat of your friend
         C/G                      D7/A
A studio loft by the Williamsburg Bridge
                       G                           Em
We danced ourselves clean, got more drunk than we planned
            C/G                      D7/A
Eight of us left to one bed and the floor


Bridge:
                    Em
And the futon that sunk in the middle
     D                     G
And so we were closer than ever
           G7/F                    C/G
Foreheads aligned, your hand in my hair
            D                    G
Promising things, I was so unprepared
                 G7/F                        Em
Just waiting for you  to lose steam, but it seemed
          D                 G   G7/F
You were fighting for your life
              C/G                    D        G
You wanted to see what you always believed about me
   G7/F          C/G
Mm-mmh,  mm-mmh, mmh-mm-mmh


Outro:
              G               C/G
You said, "Please, give me a chance"
             G         G7/F    C/G
You didn't know that I already had
