Eb                      Cm
So this is the new year
Eb                      Cm
And I don't feel any different
Eb                      Cm
The clanking of crystal
Eb                      Cm
Explosions off in the distance
       Ab       Bb     Ab      Eb
In the distance

Eb                      Cm
So this is the new year
Eb                      Cm
And I have no resolutions
Eb                      Cm
For self-assigned penance
Eb                      Cm
For problems with easy solutions

Ab
So everybody put your best suit or dress on
Bb
Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
Ab
Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
Bb
As thirty dialogues bleed into one

Ab
I wish the world was flat like the old days
Bb
Then I could travel just by folding a map
Ab
No more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways
Bb
There'd be no distance that can hold us back

Ab

There'd be no distance that could hold us back

There'd be no distance that could hold us back
